I hear quite a bit that the 6097-Night Lord's Castle is on discount these days.
The principle model is kind of stinky, but I would still recommend picking this
set up for the amount of castle walls, pillars, and trap doors it will afford
you. I'd suggest paying not more than $60.00 for this.
You could also grab some 5145 grey bricks from shop-at-home to help pad out
your castles.

The most affordable would probably be the royal knights:
6078 - royal drawbridge, and 6090 royal knight's castle.
Going back further, you could also seek out the forestmen sets:
6066 - camouflaged outpost, 6071 - forestmen's crossing (though you might have
to pay extra just because of the forest wench) and 6077 - forestmen's river
fortress.
Some nice (and worthwhile) grail sets would be
6080 - king's castle, and 6085 - black monarchs castle
I mention these because they are substantial sets and not simply overpriced
because of a unique design or figure.
Best of luck and let us know what you end up looking for and acquiring!
