I've always thought this was such a great mini set; it's really too bad it was never released.
But that didn't stop 284 members owning it! More Brickset members own this than some mass release Nexo Knights sets
I assume that many people have bricklinked this set and then consider the set to be owned.
Weird those part numbers in the instructions!
I don't like this polybag it is so bad.
I enjoy the successor of sets like this, the Star Wars poly-bags whenever Walmart has them. Small builds will often teach new techniques to get the proper look with under 100 parts, usually 50-75. And throw in the fact that they are under $5, it's often an awesome deal.
Problem is that is one that only bears a passing resemblance to what it's supposed to be. However, I really don't get why so many small "pocket money" sets in that time period were cancelled.
