Let's see... DaveE's top 11: (pretty much all the large castles ever.. depends
what you call a castle, really...)
1. 6080 King's Castle (664 pcs)
- great set, lots of pieces, very elegant, well constructed, openable...
2. 3075 Castle (779 pcs)
- only bad part is the color. Great selection of pieces, big, openable, etc
3. 6086 Black Knight's Castle (569 pcs)
- Very cool, lots of features, looks cool, etc. Only problem is the
baseplate!
4. 6090 Royal Knight's Castle (743 pcs)
- Very large, LOTS of features, bad: baseplate, lots of holes in the
structure
5. 6085 Black Monarch's Castle (665 pcs)
- A mimic of King's Castle, but for the worse, I felt. I never liked the
black with grey trim as much... plus there are some 'holes' in the
construction
6. 6074 Black Falcon's Fortress (435 pcs)
- very cool, very elegant, great design, etc. Only downside is size...
7. 6073 Knight's Castle (408 pcs)
- A very good interpretation of a small fortress-- good color scheme, but
small, and the red gate was a little odd...
8. 6097 Night Lord's Castle (598 pcs)
- Great piece selection, but hideous from the outside. Also had a good
interior... The other thing to like is its versatility. Very modular=cool
9. 6081 King's Mountain Fortress (429 pcs)
- Design is ok, good semi-rare piece selection (black falcon, maiden, 3x3
diagonal bricks, arches, plate armor), bad baseplate, odd layout
10. 6091 King Leo's Castle (524 pcs)
- Kinda neat design, really bad pieces, interesting interior, but not great,
and an ugly baseplate
11. 6082 Fire Breathing Fortress (393 pcs)
- Kinda dumb. Not much room for battlements, towers, etc... less of a castle
and more of a hidden forest fort. It had some neat features, but otherwise,
I wasn't overly impressed with it
Of course that's just kind of a general feeling... a bunch of 'em are really
tough to judge... The order could easily switch around a little... But that's
my general feeling

| (...) I agree that 6090 was a good castle, probably the best castle in the last 8 years or so (since 6086 Black Knight's Castle). In lugnet.castle, Bryan Wong writes: (...) I agree that the Yellow Castle is the best functionally (as far as use of (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
