Steve I was wondering what you specifically found uninteresting about the
Amazon sets. I found them much more vibrant and alive than any other lego
sets ever. I love their attempt to do a jungle. I can see your point on the
architecture, however there is not much in the world more architecturally
interesting than the Valley of the Kings area.

Why not? I can imagine igloos, kayaks, dog-sled teams, parka clad minifigs,
etc. I think the sets themselves could include a North and South Pole quest.
Can anybody think of others? I would like to somehow involve a killer whale
in one, or maybe polar bears, walrus, or penguins. Let me know what you
think, this is what keeps this hobby alive for all of us.
Thanks, Mark
