TheBrickDaddy - that's odd since the Mine is the one set I didn't pick up. It didn't look that good on the outside, and you only get 2 new figures (the rest are dirty versions of figures). As far as parts pack, I would agree. It probably does have some great pieces in it, but at the same time I don't want to spend $70 for those pieces. As much as I want the other Native and the skull, I don't want to spend $70 on them.
But I'm glad you like it so much. Maybe if I ever see it on a good sale, I may pick it up.
It's true it might not catch the eye from the angle on the box, but seeing it in a review or in person is a different story. And of the five minifigs, one is only available in one other set (the largest), and the other four
are exclusive. What you may see as a dirty version of another figure, I see as a refreshing deviation from the norm- this is the
only set where the Lone Ranger and Tonto aren't the same as they are in every other set. And I don't see how it's a bad price- it has one of the best piece/price ratios in the line.
To each is own, but trust me, even if you don't want it as a display piece, it's got the most play functions I've ever seen for a set this size. I spent more time trying to crush Butch with that boulder than I'd like to admit
