I went out to the local Aldi, and picked one up. I checked the contents first, an envelope with instructions (fairly basic) but has some example views of what could be seen (might need to check how accurate it is), a CD, warranty statement (3 years). A box containing the two cased eyepieces, one with the moon filter, then a plastic 2x barlow. The focuser is plastic, not unusual for this price. The main mirror appears to have no collimation adjustment - could be a good future project in the making.
Anyway, it is all wrapped up in Christmas paper and ready to go under a tree.
