Anyway, my research has led me to find that there were 8 original components
before TLC abandoned this idea.  I'll list them for you if you are not
familiar with these sets. 6034 - Black Monarch's Ghost, 6040 - Blacksmith
Shop, 6041 - Armor Shop, 6059 - Knight's Stronghold, 6061 - Siege Tower, 6062 -
Battering Ram, 6067 - Guarded Inn, and finally 6074 - Black Falcon's
Fortress. One small bit of trivia is that 6081 - Kings Mountain Fortress, has
a connection pin in the appropriate spot for adding to the other sets, it's
just a bit low because it's on a baseplate and not on a full plate. Arguably,
this could be considered as a 9th, but it might be stretching it.

Nitpick!  You forgot 6073 Knight's Castle!  6073 and 6074 connect well
together, too.  :)  On top of that, 6080 King's Castle and 6085, when
opened, can both accept wall pieces, although they are on baseplates.

Anyway, I'd love to see TLC return to this concept, myself.

I just wanted to share some information that you may not have thought about or, have thought about and wished that TLC still did think about. I've been doing research for my Castle Wall Components project recently. This was because I had decided to (...) (25 years ago, 23-May-00, to lugnet.castle)
