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 (Dungeon), which are the painted-on brown straps covering the upper
legs. They would look good on the legions if the legions could afford them for
everyone. 4818 (Dragon Rider): I love that chrome helmet too. Too bad 4818
worsens the overabundance-of-reptiles problem. The high and low points of the
series in one box. 4816 is strong overall, what with Princess Storm and a
Defense Archer type and the catapult bits. 4819 (Rebel Chariot) is also a fair
value just on parts. I don't have much use for the silver shield. By the way,
the chariot driver is sleeping! Is this the first dozing minifig head?

At $6 ($5) a pop I'm holding at one of each. (You army builders can pour out
the cash.) However, if my money said "just spend me" I'd buy duplicates of
these before any other sets.

(*KB also had $50 off the Mindstorms DDK and RD, and 50% off 6199. No RIS, or
I'd be a Mindstorms addict already. Also 50% off Pooh. I needed Tigger's
Treehouse but it was too big to carry home! Oh, bother.)

I just came across a full display of the chrome castle sets in a KB toy works. I picked up set 4819 that I couldn't get from S@H. They are asking $5.99 a pop for these sets. I thought they weren't supposed to hit regualr toy stores? Hmmmmm. Anyway (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.general)
