Set 7000: Young Ankylosaurus.

This set features a nice picture with 4 2x2 corner sloped bricks in
Verdi-gris, helping form a nice body for the animal...yet when it arrives, I
find it uses other, less useful, parts and has a dis-appointing shape.

Set 2996: The lost tomb (?).

This set has the following description:

"Johnny Thunder and Professor Lightning are exploring the Lost Tomb. They've
got all the gear they need -- shovels, picks, and more -- but Sam Sinister
is on the way to steal the treasure! "

And yet when I opened the set...no Johnny Thunder or Professor Lightning.
[guess which of the two I was most dis-appointed abount not receiving :)]

Was that description for 2996 or K2996?  K2996 was a promo, it was 3 sets sold
together with the K added - 2996, 2995, and 5900, for $18.00 if I remember
correctly.

Yep - http://guide.lugnet.com/set/2996

Johnny is in 5900, Prof L is in 2995 - so what you wanted was K2996.  If you
order 2996, that's all you'll get, the ONE set.  You must tell them K2996 to get
all 3.  BTW, it's just 3 separate sets, they don't package them together in any
way.

I have no idea if they still sell it as K2996 or not, but if they don't, I have 3
sets, I could give 1-2 up.
