When I look at this set now, I could see it buying it for parts/figures. However, since this came out during the overall KK2 period I most likely ignored it.

I bought two of these. Good parts and the jelly-bean knight that comes with it isn't too ridiculous. If you combine two sets you can make a really kick-butt prisoner wagon that captures the spirit of the designer's intent, while not changing the design much. If LEGO bricks were a tad cheaper this could have been an amazing little kit. But overall I like this set; during the era of the jelly-bean knights many sets were too juniorized or featured questionable design decisions; this set's only really lame feature (in my opinion) is the catapult, which is simply silly. But then KKII featured horse-mounted catapults, so this isn't too bad in that regard.
I'd rate this set as a "buy", and if you like shadow knights, "buy multiple".

bley refers to the new (2004 and onwards) grey, which replaced the old grey. It's called bley because it's bluish compared to the original. Many people were... upset... when the colour changed. LEGO promised to never change the core colours again, however I think since then they have changed some of them. Anyway, most people have now accepted the new colours and it scarcely bears mentioning, except when you need to compare the new grey to the old grey.KingDavid wrote:This may be slightly off-topic, but I'll make it quick. This word "bley", is it supposed to refer to blue-gray? Just curious. Never heard that word before I came to this forum. Thanks.Username wrote:I wish the green face mask came in the speckled black or dark bley.

I have to say that I dislike this set. It's not attractive to me at all.
If I compare this set with today's sets or older ones there's a big gap...
