I agree, roughly, with this list. I would probably put crusaders and
classic a little higher, and knock Knight's Kingdom down near the bottom of
the list. I don't like the too-distinctive minifig face prints, although
the KK guys look a bit better when you replace their heads with the classic
smilies. And wolfpack? Judging by demand on ebay, you may in the minority
putting them up so high. I never quite figured out how they fit in. I see
them as bad, juniorized replacement of the peasants.

What's wrong with the old style breast plate??? Half my cavalry have it.
It's shiny, it's a breastplate, looks fine to me!

Can't disagree with you over the hideous Dragon Master knights. Pretty much
everything about them is lacking. However, I get sentimentally attached to
even the ugliest of my minfigs, so I don't think I would ever have the heart
to sell a single one.
