I was looking at a small Adventurers Egyptian set#5938 marked down to $5 at
local Wal-Marts and I was wondering if the older segmented palm trees are
officially discontinued and if therefore all of the new sets come with the
new "OnePiecePalmTree."

Which led me to ask, 1) will these old palm tress be selling for $10 each • in a
few years and 2) how many people like the new tree better than the old? • (which
should help answer question 1)


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.

I'll definitely trade off the statue or many other parts in the 5938 if anyone needs them. I'm keeping the palm trees, some of the skeletons, and some of the other pieces (haven't decided how MUCH to keep yet). I'm also keeping 10 of them boxed for (...)
