(...) Where did you find it for $40? Is it somewhere in California or Nevada? Steve (24 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) Despite my recent rant regarding the athestically absent color scheme of this set, I HAVE to agree with all the previous ostsss regarding the pluses of the compound. The little bits (truck, plane, boat) are built with the great attention to (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) I recently did the inventory for this set: (URL) agree that the parts are superb... As for play value, there's not only a building but a truck, two-pilot plane, and rowboat as well; and the upper stories use tiles so they can lift off just (...)

(...) That 24x24 brickplate with the quarter circle cut-out comes to mind. I'm like you - contemplating another one at full price (or 15% sale at Zellers), and if I found them at 50% off, I'd be hard-pressed to not buy all I could find. James (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) Brown plates & bricks. :) Loads of 2x2 brown bricks, several tan 1x6 arch bricks. Quite a few things that move or drop or fling if play value is your goal. At $40, if you don't want it, I'll take another one. ;) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.adventurers)

Ok. Someone please convince me that the Dino Research compound is worth $40. It doesn't appear to be a very good model or have much play value. $40 seems a bit high for a few dinosaurs. We already have the T-rex. Rose (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.adventurers)
