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...

What the heck

That’s crazy for one promo knight

Post by: TableKnight on July 25, 2024, 07:40:13
That truly is an insane price   :o

I would be interested later on to see the exact stats behind its commonality, but €306 is mad!

I have one unopened knight (from eBay) but am expecting another 5 from a European friend, which will be opened. I doubt if I get lucky, but hope prevails. <whistles Willie Wonka tune>

All from Muller? I bought one. Because.  Of course it was the normal one.

Hey, where I can see your collection? I'm actually working on my own tournament knight collection at the moment.

My jousting knights are at http://animobil.info/shields/text/5d0863aa-645.html (http://animobil.info/shields/text/5d0863aa-645.html)
It's up to date through the regular anniversary knight. I haven't added the Müller one yet but suppose I should.

Hey Tim, I'm trying to collect all of the knights with new horses, but there are some I can't find. I'm looking at your collecion, and 14, 20, 25, 27, 28 I can't find the sets for. Do you have the set numbers for those?
Title: Re: Müller Black Knight exclusive
Post by: Tiermann on September 07, 2024, 14:10:15
Hi, if anyone wants to search these up the jousting knights the key item is called "horse coat" at PlaymoDB.

 Here are the known set numbers for the ones you mention:

14 - sets 3319 and 5757, 3319 was a release troop builder so should be out there
20 - 7762 an add on accessories set, general release but harder to find
25 - 4160 an Advent calendar
27 - 4865 a large castle set, bigger castles are released in smaller numbers and finding the one thing without having to get a castle or a ton of random parts with it may be hard
28 - 4871 a troop builder set, should be pretty available
Title: Re: Müller Black Knight exclusive

I have numbers 14 and 25 (and quite a few others) for sale currently on  eBay
 (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226024697403).

Just sayin'! :-[

Ah, nice, is there any chance you have the knight that comes with 5355 as well? I can't find him anywhere and he looks like a beautiful piece. Also, I may start collection those templar knights from you very soon.

Sorry, the Knight from 5355 is in my Caparison display. Which are the templar knights to which you refer? Specials?
