speaking of... My sister got me that new big ~800 piece basic set for
Christmas. It's the one with six or seven smaller boxes of lego held
together by a cardboard frame. It seems like a waste of packaging
to me, especially the raised baseplate that was packaged alone in
its own box.

ps. The glue that held the boxes into the frame was nightmarish also.
I almost had to use a crowbar to pry them out ;)

Was this the K-Mart exclusive? The one with the 32x32 light green baseplate
like 5978's? I didn't have any trouble getting the boxes out of the two copies
I got... :)

No, I got my first copy at Zany Brainy. I think I've seen it at
Wal-Mart, and perhaps TRU also.
