You can see both in that first shot, a dark tan one and a lighter tan one.
I was lucky to get both sets in box at Target for approx A$7 each, leaving
two more ravaged examples on the shelf, never to be seen again.

I have seen them on ebay as part of a larger 'Lego' collection, maybe they
were the ones Dave was meant to get ?
I can imagine golfers keeping the baseplates, painting them green and having
a desktop minifig diorama of themselves on the 18th green.
