Oh, I mistook the number. I had the original version, but I bought it used
about a year ago, before the rerelease came out.

Many of the pieces from that set, especially the BURPs (Big Ugly Rock Piles)
and the plant pieces are useful in every theme. I've used a lot, for
instance, in my project recreating Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. My main
page is here:

and an instance of this use is here:

That's always a tough decision. I'm more likely to tear something down once
I've taken a lot of pictures and/or shown it off to my friends, but there
are some models I'm so happy with that I haven't taken apart yet. I have a
limited number of bricks, though, so almost all of my creations have to come
apart before I can build something new.

I meant this set:

I'd like to get a few of these to build up my army of cavalry soldiers.
