Well my orders arrived from England. Surprisingly (and very disappointingly), I received zero 5138s even though I ordered about 100 of them. Did get plenty of 5059s and 5184s, so I'm going to re-equip my BFs, Forestmen, and DMs with the loot. (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.castle)

Don't get me wrong I really hope that they are reissuing old early 80's sets. I want a guarded inn and a large army of black falcons. I'm just giving reasons why people may not be going crazy.
