I like Gold too, but silver is best!
That beautiful chrome armor is soo cool!
I have no clue why they stopped producing it...
Maybe the kids didn't like it when it got dirty. ???

I don't know for sure, but it may be because it was too expensive.

I know the original chromed finish used to wear off in time thus diminishing the look of the items, and possibly there was worry about children ingesting the paint that wore off?

The 4434 Silver Knight was a 25th Anniversary item (I think), and the silver finish is different to the original chrome finish. I hope it doesn't rub off in time. The 4430 30th Anniversary Gold Knight is similar to the 4434 Silver Knight. Both weigh slightly more than a Klicky wearing the same armour and no shiny finish, so I believe there is actual metal in the coating.

Has there been a 35th Anniversary set? I haven't seen one, but it should surely have been released last year.

 by diminishing  you mean that the whole attention would be on the silver parts and not on the other parts of the clicky-set??

Yes, I believe Martin is correct. After all, regulations for safety on toys took place in the 80's. So we must assume that that all chrome parts stopped being produced for that reason...

As I promised, i visited my parents house today and got a few pictures of my chrome plated knights....the pictures are a bit shaky...as I was in a hurry to leave quickly....

I also believe Martin is correct about the the anniversary knights having some kind of metal involved as they are quite cold to the touch...personally i think the silver one is greater looking than the golden one....

I have the Gold Knight,
And though the paint will not wear off, it will grow dull if you don't polish it!
And I am 100% sure there is metal in the armor of the aniversary knights.

We assume that the metal is in the paint... even in sound this armour sounds a bit...metalic...
