Gatekeeper wrote:My only real dissappointments with this set are:
1. The lack of a second Black Falcon soldier
2. The Black Falcon Knight is carrying a kite shield and not an ovoid one.
Otherwise, I'm very excited to see this set. My Black Falcon's have needed a proper leader for a long time.
Now, I'd like a proper barding for my Wolf Pack, then they can have some proper titles and stop thieving.

That's an easy question to answer. The $150 price is not $150 US but $150 CA. The American Shop-at-Home site has the set listed as $119 US (link).

However, I still think the knight should have an ovoid shield.

No prob. I learned what the small shield was called.

I am not sure if kite shields were ever really used for jousts. Once plate armor became common kite shields were given up for heater shields. Since these knights have plate armor and considering the implied era, the shields are accurate.
That being said I would have preferred one kite "oval" shield as well. Perhaps the one on the railing...
