Now here's something to ponder...
What's your favorite castle set made by TLC (no MOCs Please :-)? And please
explain *why*. I'm really interested.
I don't have enough castle sets to judge, and I want to know what everyone
thinks. I'd really rather you choose between the real *castles* per se, not
from all the "sets".
Personally I don't see what's so great about the YC... sure, it has no prefab
pieces, it's the first castle set ever... but I just don't see what's so
amazing about it.
I only have 6090, 6091 and 6097 (out of the "real" castles)... out of those
I'd undoubtly say my fave is 6090.
Other castles that I saw in catalogs look nice, as a catalog-kid I used to
admire 6081... then again, I might've only admired it because it was a castle,
regardless to what was in it. :-) All I know is that I vividly remember myself
looking at the catalog and hoping to get "that cool set"... same with 6086,
when it came out. OTOH, 6082 wasn't really something to look up to IMO, even
back then (altho' the DMs as a whole seemed VERY cool).
I really can't say anything about sets like 6074, 6085, 6080 or 6073 because I
was too young to appreciate them when they came out and I'm too young to
gather enough money to get them now and judge them. (always too young... :-)
Well anyhow I'd like to hear your opinion!

| (...) I like 6073. Probobly because it was the only castle I ever had. I accually made in ldraw a tavern in the spirit of 6073. (25 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) It would have to be 6085. The Black Monarch's Castle was the first castle i received as a kid. The sentimental value alone makes it my favorite. But on top of that i realy like the design, it has a nice selection of figs, and the Black (...) (25 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) Okay, I missed participating in your survey that began in February, but I will answer now. First off, I have nearly every Castle set ever released. Of those that I am missing, 6062, 6041, and 6035 are highest on my wish list now. Since I own (...) (25 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) I'd have to say 6086, because of the design, very good, and some of the elements, the yellow tudor wall pieces among others. My biggest complaint about all of the Castle sets is that they are all facades, very good exteriors with nothing on (...) (25 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) I'd have to say 6080 King's Castle. I have wanted it since I was five years old, and it is on my list of "must haves". I think I like it because it reminds me of real castles more than any other. :) It is closely followed by 6081. It was the (...) (25 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) Now that I have YC, it's my favorite. It's made of sandstone, and it has lots of troops. Not just heroes, but regular guys. And I think it has high playabilty, and parts you can't get anywhere else. Plus I just like the way it looks. Those big (...) (25 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) This isn't really a castle , but was a castle like building, the 6071 Forestmens Crossing. I liked it because it came with some weird (to me) pieces, like the bridge and the brown ladder. I was also six years old. Rob (25 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)
