I finally ordered these from Shop-at-Home. These are actually really good
sets. I bet we will all be wondering why we didn't appreciate them more in
years to come. I only got the Dragon and Cart (the only two chrome pieces I
don't have) and found out they are actually pretty cool. My imagination
goes to opposing forces of Dragon Cavalry battling it out in the sky. (if I
had the money) For now though the Dragon Rider is the leader with the
chrome sword and helm while the men on the cart try to keep up.
