Ok - simple question for everyone:
What is the best set out right now for castle fans? Bulk ordering excluded ...
Now by best set, I have in mind a set that you get the most amount of
useful parts for the best price. A ratio :)
A while back, I would have said that the Sith Infiltrator got the award. Even
farther back, the Robo Raptor would have gotten the nod.
So here are my two sets:
1) 10000 - the Guarded Inn. Not a shocker, but at $25.00, it's a good deal.
Its downside is that you won't find it on sale anywhere. That has to be
factored in ...
2) 7184 - MTT - good mix of slopes, plates, and bricks. If they go down to
$30.00, I will get quite a few ...
Other than that, there is a shortage of really good sets out there to just
bust up for parts. I have yet to fall in love with Harry Potter sets ...
Let me know what you think,

| (...) Hagrid's Hut at Kmart this weekend at 20% off. I would say for $24, it had a nice variety of pieces. Again, taking cost into factor, it doesn't beat out the MTT. The plates are not very useful and the roof is *rap. The fact that you have to (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) the Guarded Inn is probably the best for your buck these days in terms of pieces for new castles. If you consider postage etc, you could get about three of these for the same money you would spend on just one King Leo's Castle. That's 15 grey (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

| A few to add: Slave I - TONS of green slopes, brown, etc., and coupled with the Landspeeder (also a good one) for $15, this is a great set. Also, I gotta give a nod to the Young Dinosaur series (7000-7003). These have a good bunch of grey and dk. (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) I think you've got my two favorites pegged there; my most recent MOC (which admittedly is a boat, not a castle - but it's *for* castle!) would never have happened without many 7184's. For traditional castles Guarded Inn beats other current (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

| I'd add 6094 Guarded Treasury - it has cool window, dungeon door, gray and blue slopes, the lion head sculptures, and a tower piece. Castaway Pirate "Pawel Nazarewicz" <verneer@utk.edu> wrote in message news:GnE9vH.7zy@lugnet.com... (...) (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

| These are my choices for best castle theme sets out now: (Guarded Inn - does not really count, It would be very hard to out do most LegoLand Castle sets before the 1990's) Best small set: - Knight's catapult 4816 - it has decent peices and two nice (...)
