Not a bad set, no. But I would love it if they lost the blue peak and added some 1 x 6 x 1 arches instead, and maybe some 1 x 3 x 1 arches too. And then made those available in lots of other colors. -Andy Lynch ----- Original Message ----- From: (...) (23 years ago, 15-Dec-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Just plain great! This IS the way to go. My only dislike is that this set will not be sold on stores - it could be a "bait" for the kids, making their interest in LEGO grow again to pre '96 levels.
