I went through the packing list and the contents of the boxes. No parts were damaged; the only things missing were a piece to the elevator (on backorder from Van's) and a washer. I cleaned off one of my shelves in the garage and spilt up the kit into its functional area. I went with baby food jars for most of the small items, but I broke down and bought some plastic shelving from Home Depot to hold all of the hardware.
I am surprised about how few parts there really are. It looks like the most complex system is going to be the trim. For some reason, from all the descriptions online, I was expecting more too it. We shall see in a month or two what I think of it then...
It popped open the Clark Griswald's Christmas tree...
