I had to stick the new Castle set under the scan box at TRU in Milwaukee this weekend and just about had a heart attack. $79.99 for 400 some odd BURPs/CRAPs (whatever the ugly one piece parts are)!.

(...) Roboforce, Star Wars, and Wild West ("Indian") minifigs also have printing on their legs. Both Spyrius and Islander were introduced in 1994, so I think they share the honor of being first to introduce decorated legs. I suppose it's going to (...)
