This actually came up in discussion not too long ago in .castle-- as for
parts not seen in the past 3 years:
-Saddle w/ single clip (1992?)  [easily replaced w/ 2-clip version]
-Minifig Head w/ solid stud (?) [easily replaced w/ hollow version]
-Plastic Minifig Cape (1993)
-1x1x2 Shutter (1996?) [this can't be right, can it?]
-1x4x6 door (1996?)
-Castle Corner wall (1997?)
-Knight Helm w/ Grille (1997)

The only other component would be printed elements:
-Flag w/ tavern print
-Corner castle wall w/ tudor print
-Castle wall w/ tudor print
-Castle wall w/ bricked window print
-Shield w/ lion & yellow background
-Shield w/ falcon & yellow border
-Torso w/ beads and neckline
-Torso w/ breastplate print
-Torso w/ crossed axe print

So, not *too* much effort on TLC's part-- though I am kinda suprised that
they didn't make it more expensive, like, say $30.00 [but I won't be
complaining!]
