I have fond memories of buying my 375. I bought a 100% complete set on eBay in good/very good condition with box, no instructions, and 2 extra visors and lances for $140 about a year ago, plus it came with all 6 completely outfitted figures from (...) (23 years ago, 25-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle)

Hello all, I just finished updating my website, adding over 75 (yes, 75!) character biographies, as well as adding a structures page, which, while very thin at the moment, will soon showcase all my major structures in great detail. Also added was a (...) (23 years ago, 26-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw, lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.minifigs) !!

(...) I think it was mentioned back before April 1st - when ppl were still thinking it was a potential hoax. The long blond hair is cool..but what I WANT is the blond pony tail...:) about a dozen or more of each would be spiffy. hehe. Joel J (23 years ago, 26-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle)
