I've been ignoring this set as it has so many new colors I figured I'd just
get frustrated. But I got it for Christmas. Neato.

I like the wings/scimitars although I found the release mechanism somewhat
tricky to put together correctly.

One thing I was wondering about, the instructions show a grey 1x2 brick used
in the assembly of each scimitar. But the copy of the set I got includes one
white and one gray!

Peeron confirms that it should have 2 gray.

Did anyone else get a white one instead of a gray?

I liked the set though! And it's the first time I got LEGO(r) for Christmas
from Josette so that's good too.
