I'm quite sure is referring to the sets 5998 and 5999.

Yes I am.
I refer the mini-fig set vladek and other knights inspirated from jellybeans.

Perhaps not in Germany, but over here in the USA I distinctly remember seeing them. I may still have the catalog- they appeared in that "buy 5 and get $5 off" section in the middle of the catalog.

Oh well, I guess some countries were deprived of it. I remember seeing quite a few minor KK sets, but this one was nowhere to be seen.
Is everyone sure that there are absolutely no chrome helmets but in this set??

Yes, but I´m no LEGO set oracle like Jojo...

In that case, we must await for the oracle to speak...

There's no need for an oracle, just check Peeron:

Isn´t that an oracle

I never really liked Bull Knights sets but I think this one is ok because I like the dragon and the minifig looks cool as well as the chrome helmet.

Never got the set but the minifig gets a 5/5 and the dragon is pretty cool maybe a 3/5

I like the old dragons so I'd buy one if it was out now. Not a bad army builder.

The dragon is a bit odd but I suppose it was a good oppurtunity to get one if you weren't around for the original release. Chrome helmet it pretty much the entire reason to get this set. I thought it was a good scheme of Lego's producing the 4 sets with one special chrome part.

I don't like the concept of Bulls and dragons at all but like Jojo I also think that the chrome helmet is a must. It makes addition to my blck knights/dragon riders faction.
Overall the chrome set was a good idea (especially from a marketing point of view) except for the shield. It looks different in colour and style. The designers could have done a better job with it.

I liked the look of the Bulls; they worked well as a mercenary faction. I'm not a huge fan of the black dragon, mostly because of the fiery wings. Whenever possible, I switched them out fore black wings. (The only good thing about Witch's Windship was that it came with several pairs of black wings.) The chrome helmet... I guess it's nice, but given the difficulty in outfitting a figure in chrome armor, I'm kind of ambivalent. (I don't like the chrome breastplate-- wasn't it originally for the Spanish Conquistadors in the pirate line? I never thought of it as Castle.)

Not bad. A drake, a crome helmet and a nice minifig. It is a great army builder for those into making armies out of dragon riders
