~ guess again! i'm actually more excited about these sets than the new
system castle!
most of this stuff looks good sprinkled in among my mini-fig creations. it
occurred to me that in m-f scale the rabbit could be "harvey" or dare i say
alice's friend, the white rabbit.
looking at my MM catalogue which arrived today, i've spent most of my time
scouring the belville pages for details. in #5824, the blue fairy has a
silver moon design where as the others have stars.it comes with the scala
butterfly and lady bug too. wow. what appeats to be a clear gemstone! a
diamond! i _must_ have it! i like this set a lot, and it's only $9!
in #5823 one of the kittens is an orange tabby! there's a small trans-red
or trans dark pink treasure chest, a trans lt pink gemstone, a silver cup
and either a trans red or trans drk pink small radar dish.
the #5827 ~royal coach, i'm a bit "if-fy" about getting. the silver radar
dishes and a large (#5801 size) clear chest, the fairy, which is white w/
clear wand are the only appealing elements.
the catalogue only has half of the new sets, but i'm sure the rest will be
here by summer.
like i said, i use most of these pieces in mini-fig scale constructions,
but one day i'll have to build something belville scale for ros and friends.
one day i'll post pics i made of an army of small red ninjas attacking
princess rosaline in her bedroom! it's pretty funny!
later ~ craig~
