Set number: 4806
Set name: Axe Cart
Price paid: 2.5 USD (Actually $3, but with kmart's "buy one, get other 50%
off", I bought three $3 sets so each was 2.50)
Piece count: 27

Likes:
-The minifig - Brown armor with bull pictures printed on torso + grey eyes +
nice helmet.
-The wheels(x2). 4x4, brown, with studs on the sides so they can REALLY be
used as something other than wheels. (1)
-2 axes, 1 spear, 2 crossbows (I think that's what you call them) and a Moo-
men oval shield all in one tiny set! Great weapons!!!

Dislikes:
-The way the wheels connect to the cart - using a technic piece, half beam and
half axle. The wheels don't turn very smoothly.

Neutral/Unsure:
-one 4x1 red plate with a rod sticking out DOWNWARDS. A new part, I think (?).
Up until now I only saw these in 1x2 sizes with rod going up (like on the
other side of the cart.). This strikes me as a stupid piece, the same effect
could have been achieved by using a 2x1 plate with a rod, and putting it three
plates lower.

All in all:
A great set. I'd buy it again given the chance, and as a matter of fact I
might buy another copy just for all those weapons.

(1) I can visualize an oil maker. Don't know what that's called in English.
You know, the donkey (horse in my creation) walks around in a circle, turning
the wheel that squeezes all the oil out of the olives. I could probably find
more stuff to do with these wheels.
