(...) I've heard on the winds that a castle people accessory set is coming and it will contain a female figure. I don't know anymore then that, so don't press me... Now, onto more pressing matters, The Yellow Castle... Why hasn't it been considered (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Try about 150. He loaded 258 Falcon shields, 258 Forestman caps, etc., all at once, a little over a week after the great service pack rush. And I see he's already moved about 100 of those shields at $2.50 per. Nice work if you can get it. (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Ah, but those are parts from 5184, not 5138. Believe me, unless the parts from 5138 showed up and disappeared within about an hour, I'd have seen them, and I'd have grabbed them. James (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) The parts from 5138 are not so different from 5184 & 5059, are they? But of course, you're not really talking about 'parts,' are you? You're talking about the armor! So, just out of curiosities sake, how much WOULD you pay for the armor? (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) This is certainly a tough one. I have about 25 of those armor pieces and I really wouldn't want to spend more then a $1 for 1, but, at the same time, I would never part with them for only $1. It's kind of funny how you're willing to buy things (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) For one or two of them, not knowing what the condition is? Maybe $3 bucks each. For the possibility of getting 20+, brand new? I'd pay $7 or $8 a piece. (and the rest of the pack is worth the leftover, easily) My $20 offer for 5138's was (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.castle)
