I love this set and I want it too. :love: I think the base is the same from the caveman with the mammouth tent but with different colors. I don't understand why they didn't do a new one. And I have seen many copies from other parts to many new sets. No more new ideas from Geobra?? Many thanks for the review.

I don't think it's a matter of no ideas, it's just smart planning. The more sets they can create using the same mold, the more money it saves them, and by extension, us.

I think it's understandable that they reuse the molds... And for the best, also. But.. must it be the same color too!?

Like those red buckets. How many freaking red buckets are there in the sets? Can't they be ANY OTHER color? (there are VERY few other colors compared). Or the yellow brooms (we got all excited with the witch figure from series 1 because of the BROWN broom!)

Just buckets period! I have stacks and stacks of buckets in lots of colors. At least it seems natural to have lots of them at a zoo, but still, it's a bit out of hand!

Final setup. (Looks like that leopard is in trouble! Good thing elephant and rhinoceros can't climb)
...

Yes, but I would like to see that tree stand up to the elephant for long. :lol:

Very nice review, and a lovely set. :wave:

great review of a nice animal set, we never have enough of those animals.

I too hate the lack of color choices used in Geobra's planning. I could use difftent colored things in so many parts its ridiculous. Like trees for example or the folage to trees. 
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:
