There's also a puzzle included (cardboard, not plastic). Here's the two differnt one's I've gotten so far:

But, the KK2 set is the same in both.

Well, in my eyes, the set is semi-decent.

This would be a buyable set if it was priced much lower like $2 dollars like Athos said.

But for now, I think I'll skip this one set.

The main thing in the set that attacts my attention is the turn piece and the wheels...

I must have this set...It would be perfect to defend Talonjay from Vladek's Siege Engine...that and I collect these...one day I will be rich from having unopened KK2 sets once the LEGO sets start getting worse again...ah ha ha ha...

I just noticed that in the background there is Vladek's Fortress...and the cage from that tower...

Just wanted to let y'all know that the Lego Easter basket is on sale this week for $12.74. Probably still too much
for most, but better than 20 bucks.

Yup, I just picked myself up another one today at this sale price. Got me a score of three now!

(And, since the first two were given to me as gifts, I'm doing pretty well so far, money-wise.

)

This is gonna' be a tricky one for folks who are waiting for it to get marked down to a low enough price before buying it. On the one hand, the closer it gets to Easter (and especially the day after Easter) the lower the price will keep getting slashed. But, you also have to be careful that they don't sell out, because you can never be too sure how many they've still got in the back room (or if any more new shipments will be coming in before Easter). Even with this sale, the inventory on the shelves at the Target near me looked to be the same as it was the last time I was there -- in other words, they hadn’t got any new ones in, but were rather just selling off the ones already on the shelves.

You guys are lucky. You can just waltz into a target, I have to drive 90 miles in the snow(uphill both ways too

), so sadly I only get to go once a week

. I might get one of these, but I'd rather get Vladek's Fotress. It has 2( or more

) pieces of armor with leg protectors. And they're black, no baby blue or bley on these

Wow. If you're that far out I'd just use Shop at Home.

Are these even available at S@H? I didn't think so.

Hey Mike,

Interesting find. I hope they start using those wheels in other sets. They make a nice intermediate level between the thin wagon wheels and the 4x4 round bricks. I'm also pretty excited about that little crank piece (doc oc piece in brown)--it showed up in one of the larger sets displayed at Toy Fair, but I hope it gets used more often. I'd love to pick up a few of those as detail pieces.
