Yeah, as I thought earlier. I'm just happy
I didn't go crazy standing there in the
store aisle when I discoveed the new sets. :)
The fourth series of adventurers sets
definitely hits the mark here!

And the main reason I went to the store
to purchase lego for the first time in
at least two years. (no kidding! These sets
are excellent for parts, particularly in
brown, tan and white; my three favorite
colors for lego.)

Just speculating with the possibility
that perhaps in the future an arabic
line with afro figures will be released?
Actually, recreating turkish sets for a
christian vs. islam crusade model series
would definitely evoke my interest. How's
about a rendition of the Vatican with
Pope Urban II?

I don't have much of an interest for the
Jabba the Hutt sets, although everything
else looks great. Actually, the 4484 X Wing
set has a realy nice parts index (76) for a
cost of $4.00. (around 5.3 cents a part!
Excellent!)

I haven't seen these yet, but by the
descriptions, they sound very appealing.
I look forward to a multitude of rare
white pieces...

Y'all know I'm going to go crazy and buy a few
more copies of the Yeti Hideout set. (I have
one already, but the parts are so good, I'll
probably purchase another for the arches and
double sloped black 3x3x1 bricks.) The other
very appealing set is the mount everest temple,
whcih comes with some excellent tibetian
soldier. (they're great for outland armies
and hired peasant forces.)
Did I mention the golden sword? :)
No complaints here! I can hardly wait
for the next wave of adventurer sets.
New dragons and halbierder pikes?
