#1 has the most bricks, and is the best model (what *is* the #2 model?). But
set #2 has black bricks & slopes. #3 has the pink plates, and #4 has green

The nice thing about the printed McD slopes is they are smooth, so it will be
easier to remove the printing without totally defacing the brick.

So get the number #2's at lunch, take them to your near-home McD's, and trade
them for #3's. The McD people will most likely *not* have any problem doing
this for you.
