I picked up 3 of these last night. My son and I had just eaten dinner, so I
asked the McD lady to hold the hamburgers and toss in an extra set--and she
did. 35pc. for $425, not too bad. My 4 yr. old daughter was able to put it
together w/o my help, then she quickly modified it to hold a minifig. My son
and I both came up with decent alternate models--he built a helicopter while I
built an airplane.
I don't have it in front of my now, but I seem to recall the helicopter rotor
being black.
The McD lady said #2 was the only one they had in. She didn't know what
happened to #1.
