I'd have to agree... get the castle.
Reasons why:
- roughly 550 pieces vs. 342 pieces, same cost
- If you don't have the castle, you won't get the brown falcon, the princess,
the queen, or the other cool 'good' knight... you also won't get any bulls for
them to fight, or a large amount of bricks (even though 6091's selection isn't
great)
- you can always wait, as pawel suggests to get stuff for 20 percent off or
something if money's a major issue... you just won't have it NOW! Given that
Ames has done 2 buy one get one 1/2 off, that's even 25% off... even better!
Even then, SOMEONE out there will eventually start offering soldiers on ebay,
and they'll probably sell for under 2.50 apiece (considering you can get 4811
for around 2 bucks)...
Anyway, that's my $0.02... if you have to decide between those two options...
opt for the castle... you can always make temporary guys for your army from
other genres until you have more 'figs...
