The set was from Larami which is now Coko which is a clone of both Tyco and
Lego. The horses and wheels are almost exactly the same as those of Tyco. The
bricks are Lego copies and much better quality than MB. I have over 60 Coko
Knights from multiple copies of 2 different sets, 7703 & 7710. I like the
swords and axes along with the general set design (old Lego Castle style).
Where did you get the armory set? I got my sets at Rite Aid in Ohio.
