My local Toys R Us just received the Knights' Kingdom sets. I'm really on
the fence about purchasing these. For one thing, the smallest set is $8.99.
Seems a lot for two figures and a horse. But I believe the price points have
been discussed already. (I will likely wait until next year when these sets
are sold by KB Toys for 30% off.)

One thing I noticed was the return of the flap top box. With this product
line, the box flap opens to reveal more action scenes. I do prefer the
classic flap top boxes that showed you the set pieces. But this is still a
neat packaging feature.
