Maybe it teaches the mathematics of art? Or maybe art in general? An activity to describe how a collection of dots can be put together to form a picture without lines, exactly how a picture is rendered on a TV or computer monitor?

Better to be thought a fool than open one's mouth and remove all doubt.

How is anything from LEGO not educational?
My mother is actually a primary school librarian so I have often had the pleasure of reviewing Dacta catalouges & some of their purchases. Besides all the robotic & technic gear most of the stuff usually appears to be variations on the town theme & accessory packs.
Crazy.. i was crazy once.. once they put me in a round room with a dot in the corner i liked that dot i counted that dot... one.. one..one..one ..it drove me crazy!! Crazy?!? I was crazy once!!
I actually just got this set in the mail today, after reading this topic and all I did some searching and picked it up. It came with a couple extra bones in the bag, including an evil skull, I thought that quite odd since all the rest of the skulls are the old, smiley type. Anybody else ever had that happen?
Kind of strange that it only comes with the ghost shroud, i.e. doesn't include the black head and white body parts (torso, 1x2 brick+1x2 plate or legs) required to actually have a usable ghost. Kind of an odd set but kind of cool in a way too... that's a lot of skeletons and ghosts.
Like Napoleon said above, it's a shame they don't sell this anymore because this is great for making an undead army! Can't really say much about the "set" other than it's awesome.
