Huw's great web site now has pictures of all the 200 sets, including the Dino Island sets. What can I say? They are much better than the Amazon sets. There is even a frighter ship! The pontoon plane is great, and even the base look wonderful! I (...) (26 years ago, 5-Dec-99, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) I don't know what the big 'L' calls it, but I think it's a Slipper Clutch.
