Yeah LEGO,

those juniorized palm trees are disgusting. My 4- and 6 year old children
don't like them either. Think of it. I don't EVER will buy another set that
includes those trees. NEVER.

Good plan.  We bought one set bearing a mono-palm, <set:5976>, but we

Yep, me either. For a while I was planning on buying the big one <set:5986>

I bought a second 5976, on clearance, and *threw out* 2 of 3 pieces of the new
