Mmmm. I was never fond of the Lego dragons - too small, and just not
sinister enough :-)

I disagree on the shame thingie only. I'm over shame. But the new MB
dragon sets are great (and ideal for BrikWars).
I came across these for the first time today (in Australia - BigW, $10 each)
and picked up four of the warchest sets on the strength of the posts here -
well worth it. The dudes and weapons are cool, the bricks and castle wall
sections attractive and useful, and the 2 high terrain bits are great too.
There will be another army at the next medieval studfest :-)
Just to echo Ahui's point, since Lego seems to have vacated the castle field
in favour of Harry Potter, MB seems to be moving in, and can be expected to
grab a big slice of the game. These little sets will also appeal to a non
construction toy people, and to wargamers as well.
I hope we see some of the bigger sets here in the periphery before too long...
Richard
Still baldly going...
