wow. if only. I have always seen the modular sets to be a far better idea than the stand alone playsets. If TLC released these sets I'd have no money left. I love the concept of marketing the products with 2 set options. we all buy 2 of the sets and (...) (24 years ago, 5-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.dear-lego)

Yes, I completely agree. I've actually played around with this a little bit with my yellow castle (375). I still think it is one of the best Lego sets around, but it is a bit small. I'll post some pictures if I come up with something good. Mark (...) (24 years ago, 6-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle)

The type of theme you suggest is one I believe that all castle fanatics would drool over. Modular is the best way to go It's sure something that I wish TLG would return to. That's kinda what the original themes were like with the Crusaders and Black (...) (24 years ago, 6-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle)
