Jeez, where do you get these names?? And since when can a skateboard
race over *dunes*??? hehehehe But all kidding aside, this one should
be a hit with kids. Very playable.

Looks like the plane uses sideways click hinges to hold the wings on.
That's a new part, I think. But a swingwing seaplane? That's kind of
silly...
> #6736 Beach Lookout – Keep an eye out on the beach from this cool lookout!
You do realize that Jetski is a registered trademark, right? And the
lifeguard would have a heck of a time getting down off that tower with
any rapidity. There should be a ramp to the beach, like real
lifeguard towers have.

Not bad, but it's either overpriced or it isn't clear from the
pictures what all is included.

Is the ramp printed or are those stickers? That ramp element could
prove to be very handy if it isn't printed...

Some neat parts in this set, and it's nice to see Lego realizing that
6-wide is the only way to go for trucks. But why tricycles? What
ever happened to the old motorcycle molds? In real life, 3-wheel
ATV's have been off the market for years due to safety concerns, and
with wide tires the 2-wheelers are perfectly playable. (Now a 4-wheel
ATV would be a neat idea...)

Um, isn't that what you said about 6739? ;-) And where's the bungee
jump??

It'll be interesting to see how juniorized these are - they don't look
too bad from the pictures. And I see the new curved slopes are
everywhere, which I think is a good thing. We need more of the 2x4
beveled bricks and plates though, to match them.
Each set seems to come with alternate model pictures - are there
instructions for the alternate models?

AMAZING BUT TRUE: There is so much sand in northern Africa that if it were
spread out it would completely cover the Sahara Desert!
