One of the very few castle sets I own. It's not a bad set, though I can see why people complain. It's certainly not one you'd need multiples of. The torso's not bad though; I've used it alot, and never as a king. Overall, it's a little set that fulfilled its purpose. It doesn't really please the AFOL world much, but kids love it, because they can get a king cheap. 5/10.

Wow... there REALLY is nothing to be said that hasn't already been mentioned... oh well, I guess that's the price for being MIA in the CC for a week or so... :oops:

I have to agree with the others... it's really nothing special or good to have this set... unless you are looking for some sort of Royal Guard, as stated earlier... but I don't really buy into that from the design of the King's armor/vest thingy... so 3/10... and that may be a lil' to generous...?

A late, great set in terms of army building in the last few years. Sure, the crown is not useful after having even one, but you get a figure, a horse, a sword, a saddle, and a shield. Beat that now. Yeah right....

8/10
Why do you need all those minifigs? You'll poke your eye out!

This is one of the best simple sets ever. Its just fantastic selling a king on a horse, you could have it to add to something. Its just great 10/10 :D .
There can be no triumph without loss,
no victory without suffering,
no freedom without sacrifice.
