I pretty much agree with you here Steve. I picked one of these up the other day a Wally World, and was pretty impressed with nice part colors in this set, specifically the number of Dark Brown parts.

As far as dragons go the dark green armored dragon in this set is actually not too bad. I think I would have preferred more parts as well, but the dragon I can find a use for in my "fantasy-esque castle" kind of way. But I agree that the nice number of figs is great for any castle-head and a great way to specifically increase your non-human groupings, obviously the trolls, but the dwarf is a nice addition too.

However I do like the dark brown boat hulls, they look awesome in that color. I can only hope that the new hull end pieces as seen on the new pirate ship come in dark brown at some point, as the viking still hull end is somewhat limited in use and application.
