Yes, the old palm tree is better. This is a great set for clearance. It has
an old palm tree (currently would get you at least $1 on auction, 4 blue
2x2x3 steep slopes (to go with the new castle 2x2x3 steep slope corners)
which should get at least $1 for the 4 on auction, a skeleton (another $1),
a black treasure chest (should go for better than $0.20, possibly $0.50 or
more), a black 1x3 double inverse slope, several tan pieces, etc. In short,
you should easily be able to recover $5+ on auction (or even parts sale)
pretty easily if you buy a bunch of these. I regret not buying all 16 that I
saw at one Target on clearance last summer (only bought 8).

This is also a neat little set all by itself.

(...) Yup, I regret only buying two when I was at Legoland. I love that little jackal statue. Bruce (27 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.pirates, lugnet.adventurers)
