Title: Müller Black Knight exclusive
Post by: StJohn on April 26, 2024, 23:15:41
When talking about the Golden Jubilee Knight 71604 (https://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=18049.0), I gloomily predicted

I suspect it's also going to be their last, ever :(

Luckily I was wrong.

This Black Knight was commissioned by the retailer Müller Handels GmbH & Co and is currently not on sale. Reportedly, the firm has hidden no more than 100 of them in boxes of regular anniversary knights (71604) that are sold in their shops. The lucky finder wins this exclusive figure plus a number of other treats, including free access to the Fun Park. As such it is virtually impossible to get a black knight if you set out to find one (as I would like to do), but it is quite likely that the Black Knight will also be sold by the store at a later date. I certainly hope so.

More details at Klickywelt (https://klickywelt.de/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=80232) (including pics made by one lucky finder).

Best wishes
StJohn

I hope it comes available regularly at some point. It seems unlikely they would do a print run for such a small number. Obviously I need it for my jousting knights collection but if there really end up being just 100 it will be near impossible. It's a nice look.

So you buy the golden knight and this is the surprise contents ?

I wonder if certain customers  will be angry and call to complain

I think one of the other treats is the golden knight, so that the buyer will still get what he expected to acquire.

So in 100 box’s there are both ?

And I get excited if there is an extra flower bloom

Based on the pictures on Klickywelt you only get the dark knight in the box, but maybe they include a voucher for the Golden Knight. Part of the prize is a 50 Euro voucher, which is probably why the low number in circulation.

I think it's possible that the same figure will turn up later as a regular figure in Muller stores.

No, that would be too easy to guess because of the considerable extra weight.

Oliver is right: the voucher gets you to the golden knight, the FunPark and the €50 store credit. I can only dream of getting one (but notice with surprise that already 2 have been found and reported at Klickywelt. How did they do it?)

I want one too. I will try to find one of those stores and get my 50th knight there, since I didn't yet, anyways. But ... just a fool's hope.

I believe we better hope it's released later, and we can nag the usual german playmofriends for them.. ;)

Hopefully, he'll be available to the rest of us. Can't have a jousting tournament with one knight.

Have you ever seen the film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? It starts with a competition to see who can find the golden ticket inside a wonka bar. Very rich and/or determined people have their ways.

I've started looking for the golden ticket – there's a tiny opening at the box seam where you can distinguish the colour of the content. So far only white and gold. Needle in a hay stack!

Thanks for the tip - I will attempt it - if I manage to get myself to one of those stores...
