Forgive me if I am wrong, but why flood the market so quickly with 5 additional
sets in the same year that you just relased the original theme. Doesnt' that
mean that we as the buyers will get bored by the theme faster? I understand
wanting to get as many sets sold, but KIS (Keep It Simple)

Larry,

The new sets are the European versions of what we got here in North America.
They are going with a less violent variation of the theme in Europe, using less
guns and trapping the dinos in cages.

To quote another member of ParLUGment:

"If you listen to the geekbrick episode 2 Podcast, you will hear Jake McKee
talking about how these sets are being modified slightly for the less violent
European market.  US kids will not buy anything non-violent it appears."

Hope this helps explain what is happening,

Jude
