We get a horse and a rat. There is extra bricks given to convert your horse into the normal horse. The horse head armor is packed separately in a small plastic bag too.

Minifigs
There are a total of eight minifigs included in this set five from lion faction while three from dragon faction. All minifigs are printed both side on their torso and only have one face expression. The plume on the king's crown is very loose and can fall off easily. I wonder if this is QC problem.

They do looks great but then again I hope TLG is not stingy with the armor and knight helmet and the minifig as well.

So what are in the numbered pack? Pack number one is for the minifigs. Below is what the other pack build:
