This is the second letter I'm writing in reply. The first one got erased -
that seems to be happening to me a lot lately... But back to business (or
fun...)

Actually, pink fairy in 5823 has a golden moon design. Notice also the w/fairy
in 5827 with flower design.

Yeah, it seems like a great set. 7 gems in total, in 4 dif. colors. (I'm
assuming another blue gem on other side of castle, if not, then 6 gems.)

Yeah, it'll be a great addition to my future circus as a tiger cub...

Only comparable to 5824. Just think, the figures each cost $7.75, while this
is only $6.75. Not too much.

The whole set has a nice story-bookish appeal.
Notice that the other two new sets don't appear in S@H, I don't know what
you're looking at. They appear in the lego.com catalog though. They are in
both the US section and European section, but with different names and
description. They both look really nice too, but you can't see too much
details or price.

Well, my Millimys aren't gonna bear that name for long, and if I get the new
character of the fairy queen (I won't call her stella) she's definitely gonna
be their queen. I already started thinking of kitchy names for them ("rose"
for the lt pink one, "moonlight" for the blue, etc.), and they will NOT be an
army, that's for sure :-) . I just *might* make them the Erin little people...
I just noticed that Rosaline's room is raised by $3.50 . Bummer.
Well, anyway, the new sets look really good.
