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 with the original "Dungeon Master's Castle" box, but no instructions,
came with 6085 instructions instead. Recently I acquired a few more parts plus
a "Black Knight's Castle" box and a set of instructions from Mike Walsh.
