The giant coats of arms are the shields off the big knights sets. So if you
have all the big knights you can change the heraldry for the minifig sets.
looking at that set too, I guess the things the knights are on may have
little motors in them to propel them forwards when you press the buttons on
the top of those wierd stand things
I suppose the coloured armour is ok as enamelled armour.
the windows in the 8780 appear to be attaced somehow to 'Panel Wall 3 x 4 x
6' so whether this is modded with clips or what I dunno
