    Blue 12x12 1/4 circle base brick

Or is that a transparent base brick ? Let's hope so.

You might be right, it does match the color of the 6x6 roof which is
definitely trans blue (I'm guessing this is actually the new trans blue
that Belville has which is a little darker than trans light blue). If
so, it would be really cool, and would likely result in me getting four
copies of the set so that I can make a nice little pond...

Take 4 of them and use them in the middle of 4 (24 x 24 w 1/4 circle cutout)
green base bricks from 5987, or that's what I'm planning.

   It definitely looks like a plate.  Given that the mold is new,
   I wouldn't be surprised if they're getting mileage out of it.

Umm, someone's confused here. Pete and I have been discussing the 12x12
quarter circle base brick in 5850. I seriously doubt they've changed to
a plate. Perhaps you're thinking about the 8x8 plate in 5838.

   You don't have to be so diplomatic, because it's obvious that I'm
   confused here.  :D  Yes, I'm thinking about that.  I'll go back
   and look at it again--a trans-medblue brick would be really neat.

   That polar bear in the big set looks nice and menacing for minifigs,
   too.

It's somewhat larger than the Arctic polar bear, and 4 wide instead of 2
wide. The biggest problem with it is that the only connectivity it has
is the ability to hold a rod in it's mouth (such limited connectivity is
common for Scala animals).

   Ack.  I'm not sure I like it anymore.  I remember that the Scala bear
   piece did appear in an earlier year (2000?), but not in that color.

   best

Another minus about it is that it is all rounded and such which (...) (23 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.belville)

(...) I guess it's meant to simulate ice, since the princess is skating about. Imagine 4 of these quarter circle base bricks with a light source below. (...) Fetch Frosty, fetch. Go get the stick. (23 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.belville)
