Greetings Heather,
I recently aquired one of the international sets 5919 from Denmark(in search of
the yellow parrots too ; ) ) and it arrived in a much larger box than I
expected. I had one of the TRU Versions with the gold tool type case and was
expecting about the same size carton. When I opened the package I discovered the
large gold idol , which in the US ,came with the treasure hunters set that has
the bi plane.
Anyway, I found a scroll inside of the Idol thingy that had LEGO
heiroglyphics(sp?) on it and it was associated with contest they were holding
in Europe. Another sheet of paper had the translations but it was all written in
Danish! I got a Belgium friend at work to assist in translating it all. Turns
out you had to translate the heiroglyphs to follow the symbols on a map of
egyptian temples and then on a post card send in your answer as to which temple
on the map held the treasure. This was more fun than getting the yellow
parrots : )). I guess since the contest is over , I could probably post a
picture of the scroll and the map if anyone is interested
Just one more item to add to your perplexion Heather <G>
John
