(instead of the INSTANLY FORGETTABLE "aragog in the
dark forest" set)


I remembered Aragog.  I spent two weeks hoping he had enough sense not to
buy that *thing* for me.  He did. :)

Funny... Aragog is one I wanted because I want more of the green foliage
pieces and 16x16 baseplates. Unfortunately, most of the other parts, like
that spider, are completely useless to me, so i'ts not worth $20.

At $15 with K-Mart BOGO I think it's reasonably worthwhile. Like you
say, it's got good terrain bricks, and two decent minifigs (ok, so you
need to loose the Harry Potter head, but otherwise the minifigs are
good). The spider has some good parts (including 2 dark grey 2x2 inverse
corner slopes). The spider is even a decent creation.

I'd say this set has no more useless parts than many other sets. And
it's a lot more likely you can find something to do with the
"tail/tentacle/leg" pieces than the dozens of extra Adventurer car
bodies and hundreds of extra wheels I have.

I love the printed tiles... And you get an extra of the 1x1 one too!
