First off, impressive! I love the radial design you did on the
tower, and the bridge design. I wish I had so many castle
wall pieces, but as I just started with the castle theme on
thursday, I'm limited to mostly basic bricks, and I have no
wizards.   :)

Castle is a tough line to get into.  If you want the older stuff, which all
castle heads eventually decide they have to have, it can get real expensive.

It seems on Ebay, that the only sets that continue to hold high values are
any castle line (minus ninja) and the older (70's) town sets.  Most
everything else is really up in the air!

Pirate ships all do pretty good, and the two big Imperial bases (which
really aren't that much different from castles, I suppose).

Buying several copies of the big Fright Knights castle (it's still cheap
even on eBay) gives you a fair amount to work with.  The actual castle
itself is weak, but there's no raised baseplate and you can work with what's
there to make something decent.  Also, if you keep a sharp eye out, you can
find bargains: I got a complete 6086 (minus box) for $66.
