Don't get me wrong, I never said that it was, just read something on lugnet.
Here it is, had to copy and paste, and if you want to read, find the whole
truth and nothing but the truth and scroll all the way trowards the bottom
and it is there.

Yay! Not the sets I would have chosen, but I hope this trial balloon floats
to TLC's liking and makes other stuff possible down the road! I am up for
2-3 of each of the above.

Right! Brad emailed me yesterday and spilled the beans on the July Surprise
-- yup, it's bulk foliage: cypress trees in quantity at last, flowers and
three stem cylinders, flowers on green segmented rope vines with 1x1
vertical clip plates in green, bamboo cylinders, three leaf cylinders,
fourteen stud tree branches, green flame-style seaweed, seaweed, palm
fronds, brown and black palm tree trunks, red and green bushes and
extenders, brown and black arches, and the truly big surprise -- a new
foliage element -- a 48x48 rubber grass sheet with intermittant grass stems
and studs alternating on the pattern so that you can place minifigures in an
apparent field of grass! Whoohooo!!!
