It's written in Dutch so most of you won't be able to read it but the pictures are clear enough to get the point across. They show exactly what parts are on it and how they're used.

So I don't read Dutch, but I can read pictures. Based on this picture it looks like the skeleton's arms are bent at the elbow. I know that this is an insanely minor point, but can anyone confirm that (like maybe architect)?

And yes, I did look at the other pictures where the skeleton was fully assembled, but given the skeleton's pose it's tough to tell from them if the arm is bent or not.

It is, looks like it uses the old droid arms - you can see in this picture. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/McBri ... 08coin.jpg

I intend to buy it seeing as it is only 15$.

Here is the rough translation of the dutch review.

When I set it in the forum was announced, I knew it was a must have for me, because I collect LEGO dragons.

The set is very compact packed. The set includes 68 components, there are 9.99 Euro is not too much to ask.

I had not expected that the moneybox as a complex mechanism would imply. It has 16 steps, how the mechanism should be built.

The whole mechanism works like this:

You place a coin on the end. Hit the button and the drawbridge raises, and a dragon head puts out and scoops the coin into the bank. Drawbridge lowers and so on repeated.

Last weekend I bought this set. It's a nice little set, and if you're a Castle-fan you should buy this set!

Just a note for those of you with little kids, my boys got the bank for Christmas, and they love it. Despite the set being being mostly cardboard, and the build being 80% Technic, chances are very good that if you have little kids they'll like this set. My kids have "fed" the dragon many, many times over. While I'm worried for the long term life of a cardboard bank, the mechanism itself works very well. For $15 it's a lot of fun if you are between the ages of three and eight or so.

My son got one for Christmas as well, and he loves it. Sometime soon I'd like to fiddle around and try to build it with brick.
The cardboard is very sturdy, but it's still cardboard.

It's definitely a kid or kid-at-heart item.
