Hey there Jonathan! Glad to have your thoughts posted here. Did you get your
5909 set yet? Hope so.

I always liked the traps as well, though many post up on how annoying they
are. Overall do you think the line will do well in comparison to the other
two Adventurer subthemes? I think it will do far better than the Amazon theme
and may out do the Egyptian one as well. As AFOLs we may not see the cash cow
potential of lego dinosaurs. These things could be so popular with the kids
that they will last ten years. How many Dr. Kilroys would I have then? Yikes.
Cheers,
Mark
