Today my husband went out and bought me the Adventures set of #5976 River
Expedition for $50 (at Target).

Great price for a great set!! Did they have any more? or any more rarities?

Yeah the set isn't so bad apart from "mr ugly tree".  There is no more at
this Target :(  But I know a place who had one left (when I looked last).

I noticed the weird quality of the Palm Tree <snip, snip>

They're pretty awful. The only redeeming feature is that look _slightly_
different from the regular palm tree, so add a bit of variety to a jungle.

They are more than aweful, they are down right &*%^$)$#$ and %^$#&@#%^%&!

I am almost ready to chuck the ugly looking thing out.

You wouldn't be the first:

Hahaha I read that, very amusing!

Has anyone else seen this tree in other sets?

It's also appeared in <set:5986> and <set:6435>, not sure where else.

I'll stay away from these sets too I think (unless I grab them at some
insane price).

(...) I'm pretty sure Anthony was interested. And if he's not I am ;^) Any more Ninja or non-Dino Adventurers spotted at Target? 1999 vintage has pretty much evaporated in Sydney, most 2000 vintage too. --Dave (24 years ago, 21-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
