About 2 weeks ago in the local K-mart I came across a new set that I found very curious - it was a small set in the $2 price range - of King Leo with a scepter and a small red throne. The set is obviously a new release, but I just assumed that it is (...) (24 years ago, 6-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) You can call but you won't be able to order it. It was an exclusive set only sond inside the LEGO Media Chess software package. You are not the first person to find this repackaged. Very curious. BEN GATRELLE (24 years ago, 6-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Well, I'll chock this one up to a lesson learned the hard way. I do have to hand it to K-mart: they have more old Lego stock than any other store I've known. (24 years ago, 6-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)
