(...) I have came up with my own theory (probably more a wish). When I checked up the sets at Lego.com and I looked at the prices. 6941 Battrax 25$ 6074 Black Flacons Fortress 35$ 6390 Main Street 60$ 375 Yellow Castle 70$ 6285 Black Seas Barracuda (...) (23 years ago, 14-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Seventy dollars for a Yellow Castle?!!! What? This is a theory, right?! There's no way I would throw down $70 for a yellow castle set. I mean, it's about the same size as a BFF, and double the price. I'm voting for the Battrax, and I'm not (...) (23 years ago, 14-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) One factor that should determine price is the degree to which the set cannot be reproduced faithfully (as with the yellow castle where the helmets and visors will almost certainly be very different from the original release, as will the 1x1x1 (...) (23 years ago, 14-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

Hello all. Just wanted to say "hey" and put my two cents in about the whole Legend thing going on. I've been a lurker for about 1 1/2 years (!) and finally sat down and said "I want to post!" so here I am. Naturally, watching and reading for a year (...) (23 years ago, 15-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

a good assessment of the situation. personally im in the same boat as you.. while i may spend 200+ every now and then for legos, it is usually in ~$20 increments, so the BFF seems the best for the money! on a personal note: welcome! hopefully soon (...) (23 years ago, 15-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

Also 14 minifigs, which is the most 'figs in any Castle set.[1] I don't own one, but looking at the instructions it appears (...) (23 years ago, 15-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.market.theory)
