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 first castle to reside on a raised baseplate (which I happen
to like, BTW), and I think it used the layout of it *very* well. :) It also
has cool figures, and two black 2x2x3 corner slopes.

I think its the fact that it is "classic" has a lot to do with it. I want it
for the 'figs, the windows, and the corner slopes. ;)

Oh, I know how that is! :) I probably spent a half an hour most nights just
examining those sets. I got to know them so well that I could duplicate them
fairly well, with nothing more than the catalog image. :)

P.S. If everything goes well, this should be the 4000th post. :)
