$1,000 with ten or so over $10,000.  I guess a $1,000 plus set would be
kinda collectible, too.

FAO Schwartz on 5th Avenue (Manhattan) used to sell a deluxe castle set
(something like 20 Black Monarch Castles combined into an incredible castle
about 3 cubic feet) for around $1000.  According to their staff, they sold
well.
