I actually got the names off the playing cards that come with the larger
sets. I haven't tried to figure out the game, but the cards are kind of
interesting. You get a 6 sided die with the cards in the largest set.

She's not related as far as I know! But I wouldn't mind if she was. haha

No, the Kilroy's are all the same. Most of the figures and their outfits
are repeated in the sets. I think my pics show every different outfit and
figure. Pippin and I think one other have different outfits in different sets.

The balloon is made up of two halfs. It's not a new part. It is the same
as the one used in the old large egyptian set, I believe.

I forgot to mention that in this set is a large oval shield with a gold
front on it. I should have taken a picture of it. There is a design on the
front as well. It is a nice looking shield. I don't care for the design
all that much, but it doesn't detract from the shield.

Yeh, I'm really getting a kick out of these new sets! I'm excited about
having the adventurer's back! The large number of new pieces is great! I
can't wait to see what people use them for.
