Lord Vladek is the antagonist of the line, and true to typical stereotyping, he's black, or mostly black. I have no idea why someone at Lego gave the antagonist a name that sounds Slavic and Eastern European, and I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that Lego closed down most of its factories at around the time this toy was made and moved it all to the Czech republic, where there were a number of operational difficulties starting up the factory... hmm...
The packaging is the same as the other for knights, with a black parapet instead of the usual silver or gold. Lego likes to stereotype and it has been accused of racism from time to time so...
It's the usual story for the contents. No baggies, easy build, yadda yadda.
Vladek though, unlike the knights only has one wheel on his back instead of the usual two. Yes, that's right, he has one less action feature than the knights. If that's not a case of favouritism towards the good guys, I've no idea what it is that Lego is doing. And one bad guys versus 4 (or 5?) is really not a good thing is it?
