Christian & All,

Am I the very first guy to be able to open that cool "new" set?

I have already scanned the box it comes in. A S@H exclusive one as expected.

Here it is:

http://www.brickmaster.de/Guarded

I looked over your page, so they included two horses in that set? I guess
that can be considered a bonus, even if it is an Indian / Wild West style
horse, right? Thr original set had one horse, correct?

The quality / printing issues seem more apparant todaythen a few years ago.
My guess would be if they are making increased amounts of brick and less
quality control. I have seen some pretty bad things (Missing eyes on minifig
heads, smashed parts, etc.)

As for the new / old parts, I felt that they would do something along those
lnes. If they can make the same part with newer dies, with a little
different inards, go for it. Don't make a very expensive die (my estimates
are between $100,000 & $500,000 a pop) just for sentimental value.

Good summary, I hope they tighten up QA control.
