thanks Magnus. Agree with you very much on the new Blacksmith's shop, it's
really good, a nice combination of the old Town theme components and the
castle components. I've bought it also. And I like Hao-yang Wang's notes:
"Once assembled, this highly detailed, 622-piece set is surprisingly small.
Compared with 6091,the largest "official" castle set currently released by
Lego,3739 comes with more pieces at 4/9 of the $$!" And that's why I still
haven't bought the King Leo's Castle as it costs US$110 in HK. I should have
bought the Old Guarded Inn.
Sorry, I am a new member of Lugnet, what do you meant by the terms: MOC,
MIHO, etc?
Ha, the Falcon's Fortress you mean 6074/ I have that one, bought in 1988
before my dark age. It was my first Lego castle, but I like my second one
6080 King's Castle more. Ha, I don't think Lego will re-release the Yellow
Castle coz it's too classic. I know a month ago an MISB Yellow Castle was
sold by US$700 in ebay.
Thanks for your reply again.
