I now have 5. I wanted 1, originally, and someone sold me it, (it arrived
today), but last week, I found a KB with 4 of them for $12.99, and I
couldn't resist. I'll be keeping a couple for trade/parts, but mean
while.....
The parts spread is nice. The girder peices are a must for train-buffs,
and I wanted the propeller, because I don't have my old legos here yet
(and I think my props were yellow, from fabuland), and I wanted to build a
snow blower...I have to find some arch peices to fit around it....
The roof peices are nice, but the printing sucks on them, as the 'tiles'
don't line up 100% right on the one I have opened so far. I want to build
some "california" style housing....
I love the grated/textured 1x2 bricks, too. Are these supposed to be
australian? Where is the mad max set?
Ciao!
