Sorry for the setname abbreviation, but I like the sound of FNF as an
abbreviation, similar to BSB, SES or RBR (the names must be deliberate
palindromes). The FNF is one of my favourite sets and one day when the
demise of the Ninja theme sets in, I'm sure it will be worth $$$.

That's desperate, getting thru two boxes all for a 2x16 lt.brown plate !!!
I could go on and on about the 7171's parts range.

That printing is everyone's bugbear. They should leave the printing on
stickers on sheets ! Lego's attraction is it's adaptability and printing
reduces it.

Yep that was my idea, or imagine a basic 4229 box in dk.brown,lt.brown,lt.grey
dk.grey,orange and purple !
