I doubt it. Those 1 page ads NEVER have All the sets for a theme in
them. Just some highlights (and if I remember, some current sets don't
even appear on the product catalogs in their own sets.)

had an anchor piece? At least I can now get a multi-coloured parrot
and a monkey mini-fig......

multi-colored parrot? It looks red to me!
That plane looks interesting -- if there is some way of getting it
without buying a bigger set. I must admit to not being overly enthused
about the rest of the adventurers as shown -- though I have not been
enthused with the entire Adventurers line to start with

Now, SW! I love those speeder-bike stormtroopers, they are so cute!
The ships are not at all disappointing! Considering they are mini-fig
scale, I think they have translated quite well. And a relief that the
TIE fighter appears to be an amalgamation of many plates, great news!

I LOVE the SW sets! Especially Set 7110 -- the Landspeeder and Set
7150 -- the Tie FIghter. They look fabulous in this girl's eyes. Can't
wait for March now!....

The Rock Raiders look "eh" -- Wrong shade of green for me!

The biggest disappointment is the Space Port. It looks somewhat "town,
Jr-ish" to me. I am eagerly hoping to be wrong!
