6097 doesn't have a lot of interesting bits.  There's a couple doors, and
some revolving walls, 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 getting 5988 Pharaoh's Forbidden Ruins instead.  As a
model, it's nicer, has more stuff to do, and has recently been hitting the
same kind of discounting that 6097 has.

I'm gonna have to disagree with the "doesn't have a lot of interesting bits",
but that's mostly due to my definition of "interesting" and "a lot". I liked
the fact that it had: 2 sets of doors, dark grey wall sections, inverse red
slopes, the windows w/ lattice inserts, inverse 1x2x3 grey slopes (and regular
ones), huge "quality" green baseplates, the 1x4 arches, and there's probably
more, too that I'm forgetting...

Oh, I'll quite happily admit that there's lots of interesting *parts*...I've
gotten lots of them for parts!!!  It's just that as a model, there isn't much
to do.

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)
