Mine is easy, the most I have spent is on the Yellow Castle, $150 or something. I may be an amateur, but if nothing else I bet this is the most that most castle people have spent on a single set (however much they paid for Yellow Castle). (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) In one day? Only about $400. Unless you count when I spent about $600 on ebay auctions in one day-- I just didn't WIN them all that day, so it was kinda spread out more :) As for the most expensive set? Only about $150, I think-- for a 6067 (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Well, he did say "spent in one day", so I'd think that $600 counts. Other than the $1200 order for Mario, I'm thinking the most I've done in one day is about $600, but I'd have to dig through my receipts. (...) Hmm, most expensive set? (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.castle)

I dunno about you guys, but I am truly an addict. Last week, my girlfriend pointed out that I spend $1-2K on Lego per month and I thought I had really curbed my appetite for the stuff. Back when you could find more older sets, there were days I'd (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Doh! My brain boggled at 6086 going for over $200 (I got mine recently for $66) and apparently flipped its switch to a more logical candidate - 6*2*86, Skull's Eye Schooner, which I've seen go over $300 on numerous occasions. Bruce (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general)

(...) You just need to be patient and sharp eyed. I got a 6086 for I think like $90 or so. I also got a mixed bag of stuff with much of a 6086, a 6277 cutter (complete), and some other castle and pirate bits for $90 or so. The 6086 I got even came (...)
