I was just at Kay Bee. Saw they had 2 6097 left. Has 597 something pieces. They had it on clearance for 40 bucks. I have NO castle sets except a few Ninja sets and the original Seige Tower and Yellow Castle. I do not mix up my pieces either, so I (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)

Yeah, I like to just build them as display models every now and then. My apartment has very limited space(especially with the 8448 sitting on the top shelf) and storage is an issue. It looks really neat, but since I don't have any others in its (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)

(...) 6097 doesn't have a lot of interesting bits. There's a couple doors, and some revolving wals, but it's really (IMHO) kinda boring for straight play value. If all you're looking for is display/play, and not as a parts source - I would suggest (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)

Thanks guys. I made my decision to hold off for now and wait for some big sales of some other older sets. Maybe I will get 2 Witches Windships for the dragons. Its a 2 for the price of one, sale at only 4 bucks each. Cool. My favorite set right now (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)
