I felt they had poor color selection and a low piece count. Nothing that
couldn't ultimately be fixed with a load of fairly standard bricks, I suppose.

Three sets of different size consisting of nothing but white bricks just
doesn't do it for me. Indian (sub-continent) or Mesopotamian (Babylon,
Assyria) would be better. Greek and Roman just doesn't have that wild frontier
feel that India, Egypt, pre-Columbian, or Mesopotamian would have. And at
least Indiana Jones went to India.
Arctic: blue non-articulated minifigs (frozen stiff). White bricks. The
Endurance trapped in ice (pirate boat plus lots of white bricks). White
CRAPP. Dogs (sliced up as steaks). More white bricks. Igloos (see preceeding
entries regarding white bricks). Just not a lot to build!
