Ok, here is my point of view:

Helms were fine, they were a little tight but fit nice.
Armor: Fit was fine and looked good on the figures.
Pole Arms: One is perfect and one is slightly large IMO. But not unusable at all.
Swords: Four of them are quite large. Sort of Final Fantasy almost. But they look good and I like the idea of a "powerful" looking sword.
Shields: The shields are two parts, shield and hand grip. Th handgrip went in easy and held fine. The shields were perfect size IMO.

So overall they are great and would not have any issue recomending them to other people with the exception of if they do not like the oversized swords. Otherwise, I say give them a try.

orly? interesting, the two part mechanism... I'm intrigued... now the only downside is that It's old gray, something I really dislike :?

That is the color I selected, he has many other colors. I suggest you place a small order and try him out.

I purchased 4 sets from a retailer and he gave me a really neat radio controlled bulldozer as a free gift :D

The sets themselves were just a helicopter, jeep and fire rescue set to breakdown for steampunk materials and a pirate sailing ship to convert into a sky galleon. Lots of discount sales on at the moment, - life is goooood.

just got a couple pharoah's quest sets; flying mummy attack (yay landing gear!) and cursed cobra attack. if anyone has some interesting ideas to try out with these, I'd love to hear them, as I go them as a gift and don;t really have a use for most of these bricks :?

Flying Mummy Attack! - cool bananas. I really love the biplane in that set.

Use the pieces from the biplane and the wings from the mummies to make the cobra a flying cobra.

Or keep the biplane, and use the rest of the stuff to make a temple to attack in a battle. Have two rival explorer teams competing for the treasure, and the mummies as guardians of the temple who want to kill everyone trying to get in.

What's more likely to yield useful parts, a bulk lego ebay order of like a kg+ package or bricklink?

Picked up some Lego for Hobo Jr and I today. Bought a few "Build a Mini-Figure" and these sets.
