:) There was a bit of discussion on that issue when the 2000 catalog came
out... It's certainly not a currently available set, nor does it appear that
this set will be available in 2000. The only Knight's Kingdom set not listed in
the catalog (that I think anyone's aware of) is 4801/4811 Defense Archer
(Boxed/Polybagged). My guess is that it's either just a random model thrown
together for the picture, an alternate model for one of the available sets, or
it's a set that never made the production line, but was originally scheduled
to, and was photographed (just never removed from the picture). At any rate, it
is not a currently available set. :(

Yeah, Dark Forest was probably the shortest lived castle theme-- I'd love it if
something similar returned for 2001... I don't have nearly enough forest-type
guys. :)

Ok, I've been wondering about this for a while, but there's something right in the center of the picture on page 16 of the 2000 catalog that's been bugging me. It's a model/set (?) of a horse-drawn treasure chest. It has the same wheel theme as the (...) (27 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)
