Not having had time to look through all the images available, I could be
mistaken though...

When I saw the skate park, my first thought was "just like Mega Blocks".

It would be fine with me if they started looking to Mega Blocks for design
ideas, MB has some great sets, but I won't buy them because of the quality.

My 8 & 5 year old would really go for this set.

I'm wondering if that lighter color is light yellow (like in many Belville
sets)? Or is it tan? All the rest of the colors look true on my screen, so I
think it's light yellow.

I also think the garbage can is a nice touch for this set.
