Hey I found two typos in a 2002 Summer S@H advertisement for 6740 Xtreme
Tower -- this is what it said:

Xtreme stunts start here!
The Xtreme Tower is the center of the action on LEGO Island. While Sky
practices her skateboard tricks on the railings, Pepper bungee jumps into
the control center. The Informaniac keeps an eye in the sky on the Brickster

#6740 Xtreme Tower $49.99
