I really like this set - thanks for the photos and review. I am feeling along the same lines as Rasputin though, I would rather the cave was more generic (ie, without the mammoth feature). I didnt like the dragon rock either - too specific. I will be looking forward to seeing this in the shops!

Women seem under-represented in the theme - is there no darker-skinned female?

Overall a nice little theme with plenty of play possibilities, I'll be sure to get at least one of everything. Interesting that this season they are producing sets at opposite ends of the Klicky timespan.

In the figures 2, which still has to come out, there's a cavewomen with a more tanned skin (I do not mean the cavewomen from the figures 1 series)

I recently asked myself the same question.  I discovered 6242 that includes a dark skinned family.

That set was a special offer on German ds, hope we will soon get it too.

This set finally showed up in the local shop. I wasn't originally planning on getting it now but decided it was my surviving Valentine's Day present.
I really like it, lots of interesting and useful bits. The inside of the main living cave really reminds me of the Flintstone's house. The way it's shaped and has a window for instance. For those of us who grew up on Flintstones reruns there are bound to be connections.

The fish in the water thing - I don't see it mentioned here so I will go into that a little bit. This is actually a fishing system. There is the large stick with the split point. There are little holes on the sides of the space for the fish, so that you can put the stick in the water around the fish and pull the fish out. It works great. There is also the small ground piece with a little branch on it. That is so you can put the stick on it to hold the fish over the fire while you cook it.
Also this ground section is the first ground piece with only a single small hole. It's the sort of thing I will eventually order some of from DS as it's bound to come in handy in setting up scenery. I'm going to need to order a set of the stickers from DS too. I really like them and am reluctant to pull them off the sheet and stick them on the cave.
