Hmmm - what kind of bits did that robot thingy in the bottom left corner of
the packet get made up of? Anything useful? Or was that thrown in just for
the box picture?
I've seen similar sets on shelves and I must say it does look like a pieces
pack. A rather assorted (if you get my drift) assortment of colors and
pieces. Wonder if anything could be done with it by adding pieces from
other sets to it, or maybe by throwing an entire set of some sort into it?
Cheers ...
