Ah yes...I wasn't EXPECTING to get the mini-figs, as I hadn't seen them in
the picture, but the point is that in one case the item is totally different
to the image provided [set 7000] and in the other it differs from a
description given. (So which should be trusted...the image or the description?)
Given that I KNOW about LUGNET and BRICKSHELF, it would be safe to assume I
would know this...BUT: The image on Lugnet is the same, incorrect image as
S@H, and the Adventurer set description implies that the figures ARE included.
Anyway, what about those people [probably a large number] who DON'T know
about the service provided by LUGNET and BRICKSHELF but who order items from
S@H on-line and so have no choice but to trust S@H's images and descriptions?
