(...) I have this set as well and I say it is worth it although I would not say it is a deal. I liked it because Except for Knight Lords Castle and the 2000 stuff I never collected castle :(. This set let me round out my collection somewhat with (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)

See message 222: (URL) ordered 2 Dacta Castle sets from Glen Tannenbaum, total came to $118 with shipping IIRC - I was very pleased with his service. He offers 15% off Dacta sets, which is not too bad for those of us with no TCS in the area where we (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)

Aside from some arguing about spelling, etc, I think we can safely say that Dave E set a precedent with village building. What should the next challenge be? "Build a water-mill with a roof." Just kidding. Well done Dave! (I'm seriously impressed by (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)
