I'll echo this, it really depends upon what you need piece wise, the
6094 Guarded Treasury has some potential (part wise :^), a copy of the
6095 Royal Joust has a few different bits in it also. If you are
looking for the 'new' castle wall section/tower piece/etc then 6026
King Leo has 2 figures a horse and one of those sections in it. The
4817 Dungeon (chrome set) also has one of these sections, a mini-fig,
a skeleton, a green base brick and a chest with some jewels in it. It
also has the Chrome breastplate in it. The trick is this set happens
to be a HTO promo type set that can be hard to find.
I love the polybags type set's such as 4811 Defense Archer for
building up head count for my armies, the only thing I see as a flaw
with the 4811 is that there is no melee weapon, you get multiple
crossbows which works for being able to equip large number's of figs
crossbow's. A plus to 4811 is that most places it's only $2 except my
local TRU's there it's $3.
