I think Paradisa was largely undervalued when it was out. It's sets had a
lot of nice pieces, the main problem I had with them was I didn't think pink
was a very good color for Lego. That meant I didn't buy any until the end
of their run. Looking back on it now though, I would have bought more. I
especially liked the clear curved window/wall pieces. I think the reason
Paradisa sets are at such a premium now is because many people were like me
at the time and weren't willing to buy any, but now they've seen that they
had some useful pieces in them. I still don't like the color pink for Lego,
but I'd be willing to buy Paradisa sets for the other rare pieces they have.
