Not to be the voice of discord here, but I really don't like this set. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that TLG is supplying us with these smaller sets. But I've continually passed on purchasing this simply because I can't justify the need to get it.
What really fails to sell me on this set is the wolf. I don't mind brick-built beasties, heck I'm pretty fond of the Dragons and the Sea-Serpent. But. . . this wolf has no lower jaw. Not only is that bad design, but it's annoying too.
Beyond that, there is a nice selection of minifig stuff here. But not enough to justify buying it, for me. I'd rather spend 14.99 CAN to get a boat (two pirate dingies!), two figures, and a nifty little wyvern, than spend 5.99 CAN to get a single fig and a beastie with no jaw. Just seems like a better investment.
Forge not works of art but swords of death, for therein lies great art.
