I've seen enough movies to know that avalanches can kill you. But I've also read enough science to know that yelling or loud noises cannot create an avalanche. I expect to find avalanches in places with mountains tall enough to support year round snow. Like 10,000 feet and taller. When you try to tell me that your highest point is a touch over 1500 feet and you call it a hill, I'm less inclined to think avalanche. Maybe more like a tumble. But A Tumble of Bricks just doesn't have the same marketing ring to it.

Recommendation
I get a little tired of individual baggies for every lot. A little mixing is really OK. And overpriced postage PLUS a packaging charge is a groaner. But my average price per piece was low enough and I got all my remaining Hero Factory needs met in one place. There are a lot of stores that charge actual postage and still have decent prices. And I really wouldn't have minded one offing the remaining parts in many different orders. It's hard to complain about this order but hard to justify a second order on general principle. Who knows, maybe I will.
