Yay, I just got 5823!
Bummer, I didn't get 5801 and 5824.
My S@H order arrived (surprisingly) only three days after ordered, and those
days where a Sat, Sun and Monday. The package looked a bit too small according
to what I ordered (2 5824, 5801, 5823, 7101, 6417, 6420 - all small items but
a lot of them :). Sure enough, when I opened the box, the 2 5824s and the 5801
were missing. I checked the receipt, and it said the total amount charged was
$20.5 instead of planned $42. The items missing were labeled "backordered" and
weren't charged. I called S@H and they assured me that I don't need to
reorder, and the items were sent out today. No prob - just a bit
disappointment.
Now about 5823:
This is sort of a WYSIWYG set. (what you see is what you get).
The fairy's wings are one fabric piece, not two, and attached to the fairy's
back with a Belville bow. The 2 cats are cute, but theireyelashes are
annoying. My "tiger"'s print is a bit smudged but I don't care. He'll make a
great minifig scale tiger cub.
The fairy (my first) is actually (IMO) less pretty than she looks in the
catalog pics (not that she looks pretty in the catalog...). This is because
when you look at her up front you see that her hair tilts backward, not
straight up, and her lips are printed in the same color the moon/stars design
is. In this case, gold. Ugh.
The light blue pieces are nice, but limited - a 8x4 plate, a 2x3x2 cabinet
case and a 1x2 plate with one stud in the middle (name?). That's all...
Three trans gems - pink, dk blue, and clear! Yeah! Trans pink treasure chest!
Looks great, show off your treasure ;-)
Trans pink magic wand, green apple. Again, WYSIWYG. Not much that I didn't
know already.
But it's nice to have it here :-)

| (...) I love that tabby cat! Its so cute! :) And my sister(1) doesn't get either of 'em. :) (...) I wonder if anyone wants seven fairies... ;) (...) I really like the light blue color. Now, what to use it for? Oh, and the standard name of that plate (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.belville)
