Well, I also remember this mini-set... and recently John DiRienzo posted
something that had 4801 and 4807 as numbers for sets (that he didn't have scans
for, but he knows about, I guess), so it's probably one of those... I checked
Lego's site for each of these numbers on each of their sites (US, Eur, Japan,
Asia) but neither showed up anywhere...

It also happens to be the ONLY set that comes with a standard soldier and NO
king that's relatively cheap (I'm guessing)... Also, I think this fig (with the
brown mustache) only showed up in 6091/6098 too... the other sets with soldiers
only had the black mustached 'fig I think...

Good God, I hope not. I'm counting on either this set or a minifig pack to
build up some armies of this new genre. I'd be horrendously sad if they only
release it in Europe.

Same goes for me! (Except my McDonalds sets are opened... I'd be more of the
'money' style)
