OK when I say collector I mean I have collected all the Castle sets. I dont
care about the price of them when I have them in my possession and certainly
wouldn't sell any

Not strictly a fair comparison cos the $200 ish price tag isnt from Lego its
from the Collectors market, The set has about $20 - $25 worth of pieces
ignoring the collectability of individual pieces
