Yes, those Paradisa sets were overlooked by a lot of AFOLs. Maybe the pink
pieces were a turnoff. I did manage to buy a few. My favorite is that dark
pink (magenta) colored oval shaped plastic case set, a freestyle set I believe.
I picked up 5 of them. Each one had some rare stuff - pink lamp posts, yellow
2x2 regular sloped outside corner bricks (very rare), white arches and slopes,
and of course the pink tiles, plates and windows. The pink pieces will come in
handy for some Art Deco buildings (Miami Beach Deco style).
