I ordered mine yesterday. They had all but 4819 in stock, and they hadn't gotten in yet. I assume they will be getting it later. On a side note they did have some pretty cool Adventurer (#5911 through 5914) and Soccor (#3412 through 3414). The (...) (24 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I picked up every set from a K B Toyworks store, (in it's own special display mind you,) about 4 or 5 days ago. The store is located at the 7 corners area in Virginia, (the intersection of Rt 50 and Rt 7). Good luck on your quest. They may be (...) (24 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)

A Meijer's near me has finally brought out their stock of the "chrome" Knight's Kingdom sets, including 4819 with the chrome teardrop shield. I picked up three, and all had two problems. First, they actually contained the instructions to 4818, (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)

Newsflash (or not), Chrome Knights found in Meijers (In Michigan and Indiana). Also the secial Soccer sets and Adventurer sets. I picked up one of each was very impressed. Probably the best value in the Knights Kingdom theme. -Jason Spears (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.general)

I bought one of each (4816-19) the other day. 4819 had it's correct instructions, but it did have the funny shield too. I haven't decided if I am going to call up Consumer Affairs and complain or just let it be. -Jason Spears (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)

Milwaukee, WI: another KB Toy Works has 4816-4819 at $5.99. (68xx Greenfield Av shopping plaza in West Allis to be precise.) They also had the Soccer bits.* I'm impressed with the contents of each one. I'm partial to the ptyuriges (sp?) in 4817 (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.market.shopping)

The shield-void looks like it is intentional. There's a kind of screen printing pattern around it. (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)

I was thinking about adding a village to my medieval Japanes countryside today when a thought occurred to me. Did they have any land vehicles at all? I can't seem to remember ever seeing a medieval Japanese cart or chariot. Everything is carried (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)

Ug. I already replied to this thread, but It occurred to me that there may also have been a "class taboo" on wheeled transportation. That is, only the emperor or high ranked samurai could use them? Of course, if that were true, then the samurai (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)

60 sets! Now there's dedication to the cause. Meanwhile, I've called Consumer Affairs (US), and the answer is that their "test" model there has the same marking pattern, so apparently it's intentional. (The representative actually put me on hold in (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)
