Just a vague, random thought. No, 'tisn't my favourite theme, but I did rate
highly some of the smaller sets, and besides, there are those great astro-
naut mini-figs! Besides, being in the UK it would be difficult to be theme-
complete in any theme, especially due to the numerous promo sets, limited
release sets, etc.
I was quite fond of Adventurer's, and have all of the
Egyptian themed ones (except one S@H set). The jungle based theme is, IMO,
not worth it. I shall actually be patient and wait for one of the extra-
ordinarily rare sales before I get any of the bigger sets, and won't
bother with the blimp, probably at any price. Trés disappointing
overall......

<snipped numerous points, but only in the interest of brevity!>
For me, possession of a set is the pieces and the instruction book. To have
the box is a bonus, and polybags are only important if they are
pre-printed, but not relevant for me to "possess" a set. (I really, really hate
pre-printed polybags. Now I feel obliged to keep them, rather than throw them
away. There is one of the reasons for increased set prices alone...rather
than generic bags, they create special ones.......)

| (...) Well, that's where this LEGO community comes in handy. (...) Well, the big jungle adventurers sets are not available in the UK at the moment - according to the 1999 catalogue. (...) I keep my polybags because it is easier to pack away my sets. (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
