A pretty clunky set for parts, I'm still to use the oversize blue wagon wheels,
and the horse deserves to go off to the recycling factory. Although my
Adventurers' T.Rex has been known to wear that blue harness on occasion,
mainly when the dominatrix is in town.

It's always best to keep the princely treasure chest out of sight when
Real Estate agents come 'round to do valuations.
