It has a 5 piece base that allows
a few options on how you put them together. Also comes
with tools, weapons, bones, a fire pit and 3 walls. The
club (pt # 42) is the same as the small club in the
"Neanderthal Man" ( pt # 20).
Note the difference in the box art between the 2
pictures. The original box has a dinosaur pictured on the
box. Later versions had the dinosaur removed. This was
because customers complained when they found out that the
dinosaur wasn't included in the kit. The same thing
happened with the Neanderthal Man kit. The box size also
change between the 71 and 72 versions.I have
been told that the flying reptile can be mounted to the
roof of the cave. I haven't been able to get it to stay
on the top. A little glue might get it to stay in place,
but I don't want to do something like that. I like being
able to move things around on my kits.
Also,
as you can see in the picture, you can combine 2 cave
kits bases to make a really big cave. Also, if you add
the Cave Bear, you can still use 3 extra cave base parts
to add to it. Also, from what I can tell, the Cave Bear
wall fits fine with the cave walls, so the options are
pretty wide open on what you can do with these
combinations.

Here is something very interesting.
A cave molded in gray plastic
This was in a first edition
Canadian box. Which leads me to believe that this might
have
been from the first production run in Canada. Figuring
that maybe they hadn't gotten the color
for the cave yet and used a color that they already had
on hand.
