Did you open it yet?  I just got one a few days ago.  (Had a few too many
French francs on the flight home.)  I was wondering how many of the tiger
stickers were supposed to be included.  The one I picked up only came with
2 stickers and I was expecting 4 based on the picture on the box.  The
instructions didn't make it clear either.

Have fun,

Don
