(...) I figure you could sell the horse and the wall section for more than $1 total. And of course if you wan tand snag this set on sales (or even clearances) you'll be even better off. (...) I'll go with that, although I generally price 'current' (...) (25 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)

(...) And is it just me, or do those minifigs not have faces? It's hard to tell, because the scan isn't a great resolution, but it looks like the heads are unprinted. Weird...I'm thinking blatant rip-off, myself, but I'm not certain. Wonder what the (...) (25 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)
