Hi Dave,

Thanks for your quick response.
With the info I have so far I have been able to identify 53 different Dragon
sets (3 95xx, 6 96xx, 38 98xx, 2 600xx and 4 980xx sets), but some af these are
combinations of others, and some seem to be alike (e.g. 9807 and 9652 Sea
Assault). I have no Web-homepage, so I can't give you a link, but if you're
interested I can send a mail to you.
I have limited myself to the Dragon sets, as I think these are the ones that
make MB different from Lego. I've acquired a single Ninja Turtle set (1411
Battle Bridge), but did not find it overly interesting, and won't get any more.
I'll probably try a Pyrates set as well, but I don't think I'll get to like
those.

kind regards,
Arne, Copenhagen
