Hello! The 6067 "Guarded Inn" is my all time favourite LEGO® set. The first glance at the picture in the 1986 catalogue was the initial spark of this love...

you have to realise that most of the AFOL don't want a collectors market. It drives the price up and encourages speculation on prices. Yes it'd be pretty cool to see a revised or modified inn to add to the collection, and of course LEGO are doing it (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)
