In the U.S. these items are supposedly readily available from Shop@Home at
full retail price plus shipping. I bought several boxes worth, enough to
make 4 complete chrome warriors at a KB Toy Liquidators for BOGO 50%. Then
I went back the next day and bought several more of just the black castle
visor set at the same price. Unless one is buying for the chrome, there
isn't much bang for the buck...still, I was pleased to get my 16-20 sets.
I'd buy more at deep discount, but not otherwise.
Personally, I find the sets disappointing for a variety of reasons. But the
main reason has to be the chrome printed bull shield -- for once they should
have opted for a standard-less shield that could be used universally by any
castle faction. Or maybe it could have been some cool standard of its own --
but bulls? Blech! And they SO missed the opportunity to redo the Maiden
Cart with the black steeple headdress element...
...I am still refusing to purchase the largest KK set, King Leo's Castle. I
think it just sucks too much to bother with unless they drop the price to
around $40 USD or so.

| A whole batch of the Chrome Knights 4816,7,8,9) has just suddenly appeared in some UK stores. Are there now unavailable elsewhere? Is there still demand, or has everyone stocked up when they could? regards lawrence (23 years ago, 8-May-01, to lugnet.castle)
