I myself was wondering about that little cart ever since the winter catalog
arrived. I thought maybe it would show up as one of those sneaky mid year
releases, but July1 has come and gone with no trace of new knights kingdom
sets. Europe has 1 new bulls set that we cant get in the states.
The Moo men do have names however. In the latest mania magazine they are
listed as "Cedric the Bull" (the guy with the red hands) Weezil sic, and
Gilbert the bad, (the eye patch).
Maybe the Knights kingdom is so cheap because they are merely facades instead
of buildings. There have always been open panels for play access, but These
new sets are mostly front facings with 3 open sides to view and play through.
I was pretty dissappointed in King Leo's breezeway, I mean castle. There are
no safe places in the joint. Top it off with that cloth drape in the back,
the smurfs could break in! Jon

| As and add on to my last post, I realized that official name for the moo men was intended as corporatly not singularly. I believe that they are refered to by their neighbors (the andersons) as the Bulls as in "attack of the Bulls" . (24 years ago, 13-Jul-00, to lugnet.castle)
