If you were stranded on a desert island, and could only take one set with you, which set would it be and why? Mine might have to be 6420 - Mail Carrier, I'd always have mail, and a bicycle. :) Jennifer (22 years ago, 11-Feb-03, to lugnet.general) !

Actually, they're both pretty good value. The 4107 is 1000 pieces, not 600 and it's not too bad. Obviously, it's not quite as good as the classic 3033 (it has more smaller bricks and not as many larger 1 x 8's etc), but it does have gray, dark gray (...) (22 years ago, 11-Feb-03, to lugnet.general)
