(...) Oh? I guess I see both designs (new castle and China Fortress) as pretty much the same thing, along with 6091/6098, Hogwarts Castle, World City train station, World City Police HQ, 6636 Police HQ, and probably more. Mostly just a front facade (...) (21 years ago, 19-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Snip I couldn't agree with you more, I too, had high hopes regarding any new castle sets. I have three of the China Fortresses so far, and I will probably buy some more if I catch them at a reduced price (great supply of black slopes). Having (...) (21 years ago, 19-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Well said, DaveE. It's exactly what I said in my earlier post, but put in a much more eloquent manner. Basically, I said that I don't like the new sets, but the kids will. And I'll just buy the Castle S@H exclusives (which I already have (...) (21 years ago, 18-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)

sorry to dissapoint you, no its not fake. Go out and buy one of the new knights kingdom (big guy) sets if you don't belive it. And if I was going to fake a load of sets, I'd hope people would be much happier with what they saw :) (21 years ago, 18-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)
