Yeah LEGO, those juniorized palm trees are disgusting. My 4- and 6 year old children don't like them either. Think of it. I don't EVER will buy another set that includes those trees. NEVER. Arnold (...) building (...) bringing (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Yep, me either. For a while I was planning on buying the big one <set:5986> but after getting the 5976 I decided against it. The palm tree was a major reason why. -Shiri (24 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) I bought a second 5976, on clearance, and *threw out* 2 of 3 pieces of the new palm tree. (I kept the 2x2 round plate.) This is the only Lego element I've ever discarded so. I even keep broken pieces around. James (URL) getting paid for this (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) The only good thing about that tree is that minifigure hands can hold onto the trunk. You can have monkeys climbing the palm trees! Does that make it worth keeping? I guess that's up to you... ;-) JohnG, GMLTC (24 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Strictly speaking, the 1x2 brick with side clip isn't a POOP--you can't build it out of other pieces. But it is a juniorized, un-lego-ish nightmare. Should have been a 1x2 plate with a side clip. Steve (24 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
