(...) Nevermind. :) A clever co-worker pointed out to me today that the tree on the front is bigger than the actual set inside. So apparently it's just 'art' and not a real product. LOL Sorry for any confusion. Allan B. (22 years ago, 5-Nov-04, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.lego)

Peeron's inventory for this set is SO screwy, I can't trust it. It is listing 8x8 bricks, and teal 2x4s, that none of the 9 I've gotten have. It would be nice if the inventory ONLY listed the [standard] bricks from the set, as many people parting (...) (22 years ago, 4-Nov-04, to lugnet.lego)
