OK I wont argue. I would *love* new sets along the design and concepts of the Guarded Inn. Yes new sets of a modular design and in keeping with the feel of the mid - late 80's sets is what I dream of. But IF sales of this set exceed TLC's (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Blah. I couldn't care less if collectors are annoyed. The new sets won't harm the collectability of old MISB sets. It will only harm the ability of "collectors" to get the red tudor parts and sell them for obscene amounts of money. Pardon me (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

Hello! (...) Of course it is! Why do you think would anybody sell $200 to get a #6067? To complete their collection only. If you want to play you can build way better MOCs! You don't need a set that costs several hundreds $$. (...) I couldn't agree (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)
