???Where did the HORSES go??? —Richard Noeckel

-Set number #5394 (Horses & Saddles) ***Discontinued***?- I ordered 15 sets of #5394 along with a few other sets a week ago from Lego Shop at Home, and on the invoice it said: “The following items have been canceled 15 #5394 Horses & Saddles” “The (...)

Re: ???Where did the HORSES go??? —Bradley Dale

Maybe you can't get horses as conveniently, but TLG still makes them. If you're a club member, you can buy <set:6013 Samauri Swordsman> for $2.00 US from S@H. Cheap black horse and blue saddle, plus a mini-fig and armour. Good buy if you like (...) (23 years ago, 23-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.western, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.town)

Re: ???Where did the HORSES go??? —Thomas Garrison

(...) <snip> (...) <snip> I don't care about the horses---Lego always has a high proportion of cavalry anyway. But what about the SADDLE? Wasn't 5394 the only set to come with a green saddle? Doesn't this mean that now green saddles are going to be (...) (23 years ago, 23-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.western, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.town)

Re: ???Where did the HORSES go??? —Bradley Dale

(...) No. I have a green saddle from <set:6718 Rain Dance Ridge>. Looking at the pics in the guide, it was also in <set:6748 Boulder Cliff Canyon>, and in <set:6766 Rapid River Village>. Maybe some others too. I consider yellow saddles to be the (...) (23 years ago, 24-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.western, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.town)

Re: ???Where did the HORSES go??? —Kevin Zwicker

(...) I think he means the quality of the swords has gone down. Prior to Knight's Kingdom release, swords were always made of the same hard ABS plastic as other parts, now they are made of softer stuff and the color is a slightly different shade of (...)

Sword Quality (Was Re: ???Where did the HORSES go???) —Bradley Dale

(...) Not exactly. I noticed the change around, oh, let's say 1996. Fright Knights definately have soft swords (I still have 6097 assembled), and I think Dark Forestmen did too. Don't blame Knights Kingdom for this one. A Black Knight's sword might (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle)

Re: ???Where did the HORSES go??? —Chris Maddison

(...) Gotta disagree here...I say black and white one clip-ers. The only two sets I know of are the King's Castle <set:6080> (both saddles) and Jousting Knights <set:6021> (white saddle). I have only one black saddle. (...) There was one in the (...) (23 years ago, 24-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.western, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.town)

Re: Black Sword (was Re: ???Where did the HORSES go???) —Frederick Grondy

I may be considered insane by most of you, and I want an Armor Shop, but I could really care less if I get a black sword or not. I would much rather get that Crusaders' flag that comes in the set. I admit it would be neat to have a black sword, but (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle)

Re: Black Sword (was Re: ???Where did the HORSES go???) —Bradley Dale

(...) I think $30 is a good price for a 15-year old Castle set. It's only $0.30/piece, and you'll probably enjoy it more than the Bulls Attack set that you might be able ot get for the same price in a store. Is that a 100% yellow torso on the (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle)

Thanks for all the info on where to acquire cheep sets that contain Horses. And yes, I am a member of Lego Shop @ Home. Nevertheless, this simply won’t do!
