Guarded Treasury is *great* in my opinion. Here is the short review I made of
it:
-------------
6094 Guarded Treasury
101 pcs, $14.99 *Great Buy!*
I think this set will make up the bulk of extra castle purchases this
year. It has a lot of great pieces, and the only minifigs that come with it
are grunts. My biggest complaint with this set is the Tower piece. It is a
3x4x6 Half-Tower piece, and has no indentations to take bricks like the old
tower and wall pieces do. The good stuff include the blue 75 degree corner
slopes, the Lion's Head Lintels, the Brown torches, the Gray arched
window with a wrought iron bar pane, and the two minifigs.
One minifig is an English Pikeman with a plate armor deco torso, and a
Royal Knights II Medium Shield.
The other minifig is a Bulls Soldier, with a scale or brigandine armor
deco torso, and a Kite Shield with a bull head symbol.
-------------
I'm gonna get multiples of this one, thats for sure. :)

| So which sets have the two female minis? Does more than one set have the warrior babe? And is the black maiden's hat cool or not? -- Richard (still empty-handed in CA) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)
