(...) He he he! My thought exactly! There's no way my husband of eight years would even think to buy that many sets for me. Of course he needs to buy me a bigger house right now to keep my current collection under one roof! ;) Tanya (23 years ago, 7-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)

Hi all, I finally found a little time to look up a few things in my home library and return to the topic of Motte and Bailey Castles. About a month ago, a few questions about this came up as a few of you had considered building one of LEGO, perhaps (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)
