I got the Vision Command set, only time to peek in the box.

1. The camera is smaller than I expected.  For some reason all the
photos made it look larger. It is closer in size to the usual golf ball
cameras, just more camera shaped.

2. The cord is as bad as expected, fat stiffish USB cable.  But I have
been using USB cameras with my robots for some time so I have a gantry
all sorted out that floats the cord over the robot's excursion area to
keep it out of the way.

3. Spare parts include two of the nice gear boxes, these are clear.

4. Lego continues its policy of minimalistic packing.  This time not even
a plastic tray.  Stuff is just tossed inside, though the camera itself is
in bubble pack.  So expect the box to rattle a bit.
