Re: [Icehouse] off colored pyramids question

Apparently the market will bear a $50 price tag.  That's more than I would pay for such a Treehouse set by a factor of three or four.  

Will I be disappointed if I don't get a set?  No, not really -- they're just an accidental byproduct of the manufacturing process.  

Hmmm... my thoughts on one-of-a-kind pyramids seem to echo Andy's on professional sports: why all the excitement over something one had no hand in creating?  I'm rather proud of my own skeleton crew, origami patterned, purpleheart and other such sets.  Not only am _I_ not thrilled about these off-color ones, but I can hardly believe that the manufacturer is all that proud of them either.



...or am I being a buzzkill?

Personally $50 would be cost prohibitive (I have a few other priorities at the moment) that may change in the near future as I take care of some of those priorities. I would have to agree on the stash vs. Treehouse set though I could see either. You can play Tree House with a mono stash.  Not so Martian coasters.  The mono stash would fit into other games that are stash related as well as being used in TreeHouse.

Just my thoughts.

And yes I would be dissapointed if I wasn't able to get my hands on some.
