Theme: Castle

Release: 1998 via Shell Gas Stations

Pieces: 20

Minifigs: 1

Verdict

Playability: 7/10 Hey It Rolls and the lid comes off the barrell

Design: 6/10 It's cool for a small freight knights set.

Price: 10/10 Can't beat free with a fill up. Evern if gas was $1.29 a gallon then.

Overall: 7.5/10 Fun quick build that looks great in a Freight Knights layout.

His helmet looks kind of sparkly. I thought pearl colors weren't introduced until the mid-2000s, so it must just be black with some dust on it, right?

It would be cool to see promo sets like that again, especially for things like filling up on gas that we have to do anyway. (I wouldn't want to see them in fast food meals though.) People in the UK can get little polybag sets with a newspaper voucher; it would be great to see more of that.
