(...) 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)
