At lunch today I picked up set #2.  It is some sort of a combination
helicopter and boat.  Here is a quick breakdown of the pieces:

2x6 Plate - Red (x5)
2x4 Brick - Black (x3)
2x3 Brick - Black (x1)
2x3 Low Slope - Yellow (x2)
2x3 Inverse Low Slope - Black (x1)
2x2 Brick w/ vertical rod - Red (x1)
2x3 Low Slope w/ Face Printing - Black (x1)
Helicopter Rotor - Grey (x1)

Total of 15 pieces, all useful except for the slope with the printing on it.
This piece is kind of odd as it does not have the texture that most slopes
have.  If you remove the printing you will have a smooth slope, kind of like
a sloped tile.  Also, I have not personally seen the 2x2 brick with the stud
to mount the rotor piece before.  All of the ones I have are 2x2 plates.
Not sure what I will do with it but it is different (at least to me anyway).

Other comments:

These sets come in a big box.  The McD's had the box sitting on the floor
behind the counter and the woman was just pulling them out.  She did not
speak english real well so my efforts to find out if they had any others
besides #2 were for naught.


I picked up 3 of these last night.  My son and I had just eaten dinner, so I
asked the McD lady to hold the hamburgers and toss in an extra set--and she
did.  35pc. for $425, not too bad.  My 4 yr. old daughter was able to put it
together w/o my help, then she quickly modified it to hold a minifig.  My son
and I both came up with decent alternate models--he built a helicopter while I
built an airplane.

I don't have it in front of my now, but I seem to recall the helicopter rotor
being black.

The McD lady said #2 was the only one they had in.  She didn't know what
happened to #1.
