I finally broke down and bought two of these Dragons War Chest's too. One
silver and one gold. The figs were ok. I like the fact they are a little
bigger than lego figs... I can see them as an invading monster army. I
really liked the various weapons- they did fit loosely. The only thing I
didn't like was they feel like GamesWorkshop Space Marine miniatures that my
brother has painted- 'dusty' feeling is the closest way to describe it. It
kind-of makes me want to wash my hands after handling them. I don't intend
to let my lego knights use the new weapons. I don't really want to mix the
two. Right now the Dragons warriors are in their bins and will stay there
until they get their own MegaBlox castle. I've decided to go ahead and
purchase this line. The quality is not as good as lego, but they do add an
element of alieness to a lego castle world. Plus all the other lego armies
will probably join together to defeat the 'strange' new monsters who have
better weapons. What a way to bring about peace :)
