I have no problem with the cart except that the wheels look out of place with a castle set. This is forgiven though, as the "castle wheels" didn't exist yet. I just assumed that the contents were containers that held valuables (rather than all being contained in a chest).
Again, except for the wheels, I don't see anything wrong with this set. If you were to buy two or three of these, you would have one heck of an army. This was fantatic as it was an affordable set. What's great is that they are all of one faction. The later mini-fig sets contained usually 1 fig of each faction. You had to buy a lot more than 2 or 3 to get a great army. Not so with this set.
Larger sets have been released that didn't have this many mini-figs. This is a testament to how great Lego used to be.
As a mini-fig pack, this is a 10/10. It doesn't get better than this.
As an actual set, I'd still give it a 9/10. The only reason it isn't perfect is the lack of any real structure.
