Wonderful review. You are very perceptive! That is one on my wish list, so I really appreciate your thoughtful review. I love the klicky it comes with  :thanks:

I just read this again...I have the treasure room set and the gold tip of the turret top is not made of rubber... its strong plastic...maybe another safety feature in your set Wesley, the USA/Canada safety type ?

Great Review Wesley,

We managed to get a hold of these sets as well and the tops are Squishy, However the turrets on the 3019 we recently got werent squishy. For even stranger things. We have two [urlhttp://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=5756]5756[/url] (Third on its way) and one has squishy turrets and the other has hard plasctic ones. Which I think is very weird. Anybody has an explenation for that?

BTW these sets (5756) are awesome as the purple turrets with golden thingies underneath and golden turret top look VERY good IMO (will post pictures soon)

Are you buying them off ebay or new? Because like someone mentioned, it could be an extra safety standard for the lawsuit-happy US.

sounds to me that the squishy torrets are cheaper to make. maybe they needed to reduce costs?

they look cheap btw, sorry. :-[ a plastic shiny torret Im sure would look better.
