Sesame Street K'NEX : A review and a Giveaway!

Did you love Sesame Street when you were little? I sure did! I still think Sesame Street is super, and so do my kids! I was so excited to try out the new line of Sesame Street themed building sets from K'NEX! Caleb and Madelyn love making funny versions of Ernie. The Ernie set comes with 15 pieces, including KID K'NEX rods, connectors and blocks plus unique parts like specially designed character hands, eyes and even Ernie's Rubber Duckie! I thought it wasfunny that Ernie's hair was even a piece. Ernie's arms and legs move, so it is fun to play with him. All his pieces fit into an Ernie head container. The set also came with stickers and an activity book. This product line is geared toward ages 2-5 and retails for $10.99. Caleb told me that we need to get Bert because he is friends with Ernie. After watching the kids play with this, I couldn't agree more. I love that K'NEX came up with this line for the younger tots, then they can build with their imagination, too.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO WIN A SESAME STREET K'NEX SET?
K'NEX has offered to do a giveaway for my readers. It will be a surprise which set you get in the mail, should you be the lucky winner... so, keep that in mind. Here are the rules: This contest is open to all readers living in the Continental United States. To enter the contest, check out the Sesame Street building sets from K'NEX. Then comment on which one you think is the cutest. You could also tell me your favorite character (back from your childhood, or one on the show now).

I have a problem that I hope you can help me with. I gave away a KNex set a couple months ago too. Then I promptly lost the contact info of the people who sent me the giveaway, and my winner just emailed me saying she has not gotten her prize yet. Would you happen to have that info still?

Thanks for any help you might be able to give me!
