I remember getting a couple of these accessory packs back in the day. My parents didn't want to shell out money to buy me big sets, so i could usually get away with getting an accessory pack or two... must have gotten about 4-6 from '92-95.
That being said there are some GREAT pieces in this pack. And just about every piece is immediately useful in a castle collection. Looking back these were a great deal as well, especially with the armor! I give it a 10/10.

Re: Weekly Set Review: 5138 Castle Equipment
Not one of TLC's better sets. Limited part selection. No bricks or plates, fer cryin' out loud!!! No instruction sheet, and (need I say) little or no options for alternate models. Really, now, who needs all those weapons and helmets. Sheesh.

Set Review: 5138 Castle Equipment
I love this one, I wish i had it. Especially the Euro armor and the plumes are cool.
This was an amazing accessory pack (which I never owned). But is just edged by http://guide.lugnet.com/set/5184 for sheer use-ability of every last part...
God Bless,

I also tried to order this set through Shop @ Home, but as posted before I was too late. I really wanted that set for the armor and helmets. I remember seeing this in one of those catalogues from the sets and when I came out of my Dark Age.
Oh well.
I would like to see TLC offer more of these types of sets today, but I can get what I need via BrickLink or Ebay.
If LEGO would put Knight figure packs out like that have for Star Wars then I would definitely lay some cash down.
