I think it was $25 or $30. The only unusual pieces I could detect from the box was my favorite megabloks hinge piece in white -- it is used to angle Snoopy's eyes-- and there is some use of angled bricks peculiar to megabloks that are being used as Woodstock's head feathers (but I figure there is a suitable Lego analogue for this part anyway, probably steep yellow slopes as found in some pirate sets). Otherwise, it looks like you could model this easily enough in Lego provided you had the necessary bricks. I guess I might as well mention having seen dino adventurer sets too. Very disappointing to these eyes, and the price is about twice what I want it to be. The dinos themselves have bizarre colors on the legs - what were they thinking? In both these and the soccer sets I saw a strange trend towards placing hair elements on female figures with hair defined on the minheads as well, and I am not sure this is a successful move. The "kathy bates" adventurer is kinda cool because her printing acts as a kind of sideburn (yes, you read that correctly), whereas the soccer Gail Storm just looks weirdo to me. Now green haired racer babes I can dig...hubba, hubba! blah, blah, blah... -- Richard

(...) I didn't realize that anyone knew just what color dinosaurs were. Since many of them had feathers, paleontologists have suggested that some dinosaurs were very likely brightly and gaudily colored like birds, their presumed descendants. --james (...)

OK, I know it's poor form to follow-up your own post, but I did find the set at an on-line store. Here is a link to the page with a picture: (URL) would still like to see this in person in a brick-and-mortar store first, though. Any info? Anyone? (...)
