My two 5938's came directly from Legoland ($3 each there) and they have the
classic segmented palm tree. Somehow, I have yet to get the one piece trunk.
Of course, the new tree sucks - it defeats the purpose of having Lego rather
than any other plastic tree. With the segmented tree, I can make them vary in
height and give the trunk a unique shape. I suppose I could mix in a certain
amount of the new tree, but I'm glad I have the a large stock of the
customizable ones.
If they start selling for $10, then I have at least $400 in palm trees! I want
my jungle island to look like a jungle! I'm going through my piles of Lego and
organizing them at the moment, so I'll have to see how many trees I actually
have, but I wouldn't be surprised to have over 50.
