I'm quite sure is referring to the sets 5998 and 5999.

Yes I am.
I refer the mini-fig set vladek and other knights inspirated from jellybeans.

You know you're a good person when you see megablocks and have to do things you would rather not.
Perhaps not in Germany, but over here in the USA I distinctly remember seeing them. I may still have the catalog- they appeared in that "buy 5 and get $5 off" section in the middle of the catalog.
Oh well, I guess some countries were deprived of it. I remember seeing quite a few minor KK sets, but this one was nowhere to be seen.
Is everyone sure that there are absolutely no chrome helmets but in this set??
The dragon is a bit odd but I suppose it was a good oppurtunity to get one if you weren't around for the original release. Chrome helmet it pretty much the entire reason to get this set. I thought it was a good scheme of Lego's producing the 4 sets with one special chrome part.
I don't like the concept of Bulls and dragons at all but like Jojo I also think that the chrome helmet is a must. It makes addition to my blck knights/dragon riders faction.
Overall the chrome set was a good idea (especially from a marketing point of view) except for the shield. It looks different in colour and style. The designers could have done a better job with it.
I liked the look of the Bulls; they worked well as a mercenary faction. I'm not a huge fan of the black dragon, mostly because of the fiery wings. Whenever possible, I switched them out fore black wings. (The only good thing about Witch's Windship was that it came with several pairs of black wings.) The chrome helmet... I guess it's nice, but given the difficulty in outfitting a figure in chrome armor, I'm kind of ambivalent. (I don't like the chrome breastplate-- wasn't it originally for the Spanish Conquistadors in the pirate line? I never thought of it as Castle.)
