The box I received contained 12 different styles of gliders. Several were not shown in the Amazon photo. I uploaded a photo of all 12 styles. The number of each style varied from 5 to 7, but mostly 6 of each type. The gliders were all exactly 5" in length. Assembly is easy, but the foam easily bends so care must be taken. They don't too well fly w/o the plastic clip on the front of the glider. Once the clip is fastened, the gliders typically do a nose dive until proper positioning is established (if possible). Many from my box never flew properly as I believe the clips are too heavy for the foam.
For my order, the Amazon shipping box was dent free, but the glider box from orientaltrading.com was old, beat-up, discolored, and taped shut. Every single glider had multiple bends in the foam. Since other reviewers had better luck w/their gliders, your mileage will vary. At least this item is inexpensive.
Update 9/14/2011: For those gliders that nose dive, I shaved off some plastic from the front of the clip, approx. 1/8" or the entire semicircle of the plastic. There is a line on my clips where the semicircle ends. That line is where I cut to with a coarse metal file, or a grinder, or good knife. Those gliders now soar through the air instead of nose dive.

Another purchase for the 5 year old granddaughter..teach her to carefully handle and assemble small objects..we have a blast with them inside and outdoors..they are small and light enough to fly in the house without bringing the wrath of grandma..and actually fly well enough in light winds outdoors..another fast shipping and good transaction..
