I thought this was a fun little set to get. It's got 24 pieces for $3.99. There are a couple of minifigs in the package and both of them have printing on the both sides of their torsos. It might be a TRU exclusive around here but I'm not sure. I haven't seen them at any other store. Judy, a local AFOL who works at the LEGO store, says every retailer wants an exclusive. Makes it 
harder for people to find stuff they might want. It's one of the only reasons that I stop in at the Toysrus, most of their prices are higher than the LEGO store just down the road, they don't have any sort of rewards program and most of the sales they have, the sets I want, like Harry Potter, aren't on sale. On the other hand they have exclusive poly bag sets, so, occasionally, I shop at the TRU in Bloomington and see what's there. This time they have a couple of poly bags that I bought. The Jet Ski is a nice design but there isn't anything too exciting 
about it and most of the parts aren't ones that I would use that often. I was more interested in the pair of minifigs. A guy and a gal. The guy has a nice torso print of a wetsuit and the gal has the colorful tank top. I think you could take the gray arms off the guy and put on some black ones, change the legs to black and you have a nice black outfit. Put on some red arms and you
have a nice jacket. I liked the torso so much that I wound up getting two of them. It's actually the second time that this torso has been used. It appeared on the alien minifig from Space Police 5982 Smash 'n' Grab. They didn't even change anything. I wonder if they had some torso's left or it was planned all along. Hard to know. Still I am happy to have the torso, now if I only get back to building minifig scale stuff. Oh, well, it won't go bad sitting in a box somwwhere, huh.
