I was thinking along the same line as well.
(It's nice to see a fresh new line of products
to start off the new year, probably the best
of these pieces being the new tibetian hats
scimtars and halbierder pikes! Finally another
part to rival the old balberd, eh?)

A new style of Halberdier/Oriental Pike will be quite useful.1

(note the new Black-Cape… looks like the one the SW Geonosian wears)

Haven't seen these yet but these sets definitely
look promising, especially the quality quidditch
supplies set. (Alright! A cheap set with capes!
Looks a lot better than the quidditch practice set,
and probably several dollars cheaper at that!)

The oriental fortress looks excellent as well.
(looks like a nice excuse to go out and scrap
the set for parts. Hmm...roofing elements, more
pikes, doors and bricks. Where's the dragons,
though?) But, damn...Marz Distribution claims
that the SRP is around $179.98 each! Is this
even accurate? I could understand $50 to $60,
but anything over that price makes little
sense. (maybe it was an error, but I doubt
anyone would skip a decimal and sell the set for
17.98, unless it was on desperate clearance :)

I'm totally converting the Snow-Troopers into Hospitlars knights!

I wish they would supply better closeups of the
product in question, as I can barely make out the
figure in the image. (higher resulution would be
nice, but I guess they're trying to conserve
bandwidth.)

(...) It is $179.98 for a case of that particular set, and a case contains 2 sets as written in the description. That means they're $90 each. It looks neat, and I'll probably get one when it's on sale sometime, but I won't pay $90 for one. However, (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.year.2003)
