sitting on the shelves. Maybe the kids like them, but they aren't buying
them. Jon

| (...) I agree that Rock Raiders sucks as a theme the way Lego has done it. I do however think that the mini-fig pack is the best one since the early 90s as all figs can be used as generic "grunts" as I wrote here: (URL) that I have changed this to (...)
