You might update the date it was released.  Certainly not 1977, maybe 1987.

I am in the process of completing a paper on the a particular LEGO product
"Traitor Transport". I have received some input directly from LEGO as to • their
thoughts on why this particular product was/was not successful.Now I would
like to hear from some actual users. If you have any familiarity with this
particular product, I would be very appreciative if you could please fill • out
the following brief questionairre.

Background

In 1977 LEGO introduced the "Traitor Transport" product as a promotion • piece
for the "Fright Knights" / Castle theme. The product contained 140 pieces
including a dragon, horse, jail cart and two knights as well as a single • piece
plastic dragon cave. The product was targeted at boys aged 7-12. In the • U.S.
the product retailed for approx. $19-20 while in Canada it sold for approx • $25.

Please rate the following four questions from 1-5 with 5 being Great, 3 • average
and 1 Poor

1. How would you rate the castle theme overall? 5

2. How would you rate the "Fright Knight" products overall? 3

3. How would you rate "Traitor Transports"? 2

4. If you can recall, how would you rate the overall packaging of the • "Traitor

1
