This looks awesome... My wife probably love it if she see it. There is also a Lego Flintstones around that looks great.
Pretty cool set, I really like the look of the Cookie Monster.
Love it
I would kill to get one of these when I was a kid! LOL... I was such a big fan.... well until today. Sesame Street has beenone of those things that was instrumental in teaching me how to read and speak English. I sure hope the show has survived and thrived until today. I'll definitely get me the main characters... and, of course, that imaginary friend of mine, Mr.Snuffleupagus I hope they make one
That Oscar is really funny.
