No, it looks like someone (or a different someone in each case, possibly) cast a "0"
rating for some--not all--of theCastle sets. I'm certainly not complaining, since
everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But it is a curiosity without a context
for the rating, since there don't seem to be any negative comments in the comments
sections. In my own opinion, those are some of the best sets in LEGO period, much
less just in the Castle theme. Some I would even rate as high or higher than Big
Yellow (only 6085 is a bit too baroque for my tastes).

| (...) Those ratings have kind of puzzled me as well... My gut reaction says that someone who really dislikes the castle theme went around rating them all 0's in the hopes of making all castle-themed sets look more disliked or something... But I (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) <snip> Ya, I'd noticed this too, and wondered about it. My instinct is similar to Dave's - that someone went through and marked down the castle "theme"for some reason. Or possibly someone thought the aggregate rating on them was too high, and (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) It's not *just* Castle that's getting the 'zero' rating, if you dig a little deeper you'll see that someone hates a good majority of the sets out there. I've seen that rating pop up on a number of themes (every set in the theme has it). I (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)
