Just my two cents.
I bought the green dragon. I found the set to be challenging, and a well
designed set. Granted it is a little too cute for me, but still a nice
design. On top of that, once you take it apart you have tons (tonnes) of
green parts that you can build landscapes out of.
Isn't what we're trying to tell Lego? That we want sets that are
challenging to build, well designed, and have basic parts that we can build
other models from.
