(...) Wow with so many colours, no wonder they fiddled with the greys... Appealing sets for kids, but I'm not interested. Looks like I'll just buy the S@H exclusives instead (which I already have multiples of). -Bryan (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)

There is a light blue knight in 8779 so it would make more sense (from a color contrast standpoint) (...) (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
