I don't think that these things are great value, in terms of brick count,
but I'm delighted that they are being produced.
While I love Technic, trains, etc..., with their special pieces, I like the
back-to-basic-bricks approach for the sculptures.
I have the mini-fig, for my daughter for Christmas, and Liberty is my
Christmas present.
I ordered the dragon yesterday evening.
I am not creative enough, or am not prepared to put enough time into being
creative enough, to design such models, so I'll (reasonably) happily buy
them.
I hope they don't come out too often, or my budget will become seriously
stretched.
I would dearly like the Star Wars collector series models, the Technic power
puller and the silver champion, but will wait for the sales for these.
I've had the sculptures for about a month now, and am very excited about
starting to build tomorrow. :-)
Merry Christmas,
Jonathon
