Well, for $51, i got 11 silver helms, 12 silver swords, 16 silver shields and
17 silver breast plates. Lets disect this. Each of the 4 sets costs about $5.
So, assuming i have a lot of silver swords on hand, and do not need to buy any
of the silver sword sets, that comes out to be 44 items, 44 sets. So, 44 sets
at $5 a piece, thats $220. Since I already bought the large castle already,
I'd say I got a damn good deal. But thats just my humble opinion.

I took the other route and bought the chrome sets straight from S@H (except
4819 of course).
I must say that most of the sets are worth the $5. I ended up with 15 4818
Dragon Riders, 15 4817 Dungeon, and 5 4816 Knights Catapult.
Okay, yes, that comes out to $200.....but all the pieces were valuable to me...
First off, you get 15 Paladins (minus shields)
15 skeletons
15 black dragons
5 female armors
5 black visored helmets
20 Knights Kingdom Pikeman
15 blue gems, 15 red gems, 15 neon gems, 15 green gems
15 Bull Pack footmen - using the black norman helmets from 4817
5 catapults
not to mention various other pieces.
So, basically, I was able to put together the Paladins, and add to BOTH my
Knights Kingdom army, and my Bull Pack army.....along with getting tons of
other great pieces I needed!
Maybe not a good deal for some, but it was in my case.
