Yes I did, thanks for asking. I finally got word that the Construction Site had
some and recieved it a couple of weeks ago.

Some of the traps are kind of stupid, IMHO, but I think some of them are really
neat. Plus, the thing I really like about the traps is the fact that the legos
do something! I mean, granted . . .at 22, my "playing"-with-lego days are over.
I'm not going to sit around and act out scenarios, but I still like the fact
that once in awhile, I can go over to one of the sets and drop the floor out
from underneath Johnny.
As far as the success of the Dino line, I feel that it will outsell the Amazon
theme, definitely. I also have to agree with Mark that kids are going to love
the dinos. I feel that this will be a good bridge for those kids that are
getting a little old for Duplo and want to approach system. But the Dr.
Kilroy's are getting annoying. Just for fun, the other day, I stood all my
adventurer mini-figs up in a line. What a weird sight -- 12 Johnnies, 3 of
those women, in each outfit (whatever her name is), 6 Dr. Kilroys . . ..
