Okay, maybe I'm the only one around who didn't find this set a deal, even at
$24.88. I also bought it for parts, particularly for the macaroni bricks,
figuring there would be enough other elements to make it worth the price. I
was wrong. True, it has some great white and yellow slopes as well as 45
degree 2x2 slopes in a new and interesting color (although who could really
ever hope to amass enough of them to actually build anything substantial?).
The train gates go in the pile for the time I ever do something with
trains, optimist that I am. And I love those cabinets even though I don't
really have much use for them in reality. Add to that the small handful of
bricks and plates that appeal to everyone and that's about it.
Those curved slopes? The eight navy blue ones hold the most promise, but I
don't have the imagination to visualize them within my town as anything other
than oppressive awnings or gas station/bus stop "roofs". And besides, that
isn't a color I would use for those structures.
I really liked the 7144 Slave I. But I had got the majority of them for
$7.44 USD-- for that price it was a fantastic slope pack. Maybe that
experience spoiled me, but you can consider me one person who DOESN'T think
this week's Target find is a deal, particularly if you are a townie.
BTW of the two sets I bought, one Jango Fett helmet was very sloppily printed,
and one of those cockpit cover things had foggy patches on it from rubbing
against something in the box. :-(
