“Overall this set is really great value. For £6.99 you get three great minifigures including a fantastic Dwarf and a great little war machine with some nice new parts. At that price how can you say no?”

Brickipedia
“The set includes three minifigures and two accessories: An unarmed Dwarf, a Troll Warrior with a sword and a troll warrior with a troll banner. One of the pieces of the banner is a pike, which can be used as a weapon in itself instead of the troll banner.”
