aside, this is one of the neatest sets in the new castle lineup. I have all
the 2000 castle sets, except for the largest (most expensive) two and was
rather disappointed with them, overall, but I love this little set. And the
fact that it only costs $2.00 is even better! Granted, as far as pieces go,
there isn't a great assortment, but looking at it strictly as a model it's
great! Anyway . . . just wanted to praise this little set. I guess great
things do come in small poly-bags, afterall . . ..

Yeah, I've just seen it recently also. It's popped up in all the local TRU's
here in SoFla (South Florida). I come across six TRU's on a regular basis while
I'm working and they all got it just this week...and...(sobbing bitterly)... I
have no money right now!! I was gonna put about 40 of 'em on the CC and then
came to my senses.

How are most people using this fig, as a mounted soldier or as a foot soldier?
Sword, spear or axe? I'm undecided, I think they would look great on horses but
I'm not sure if the helmet is appropriate. Was this helmet for a particular
form of combat/usage or is the rim for looks and not function?
