“Another promo review that i made, another of the shell promo, and it like very others. this set contains another castle classic minifigure, the old style wheels, a bat, good for castle items, and a crossbow, great for weaponry of a knight. I rate it 5/5, for the same reasons... More of the others promotionals.”
