Sonnich:
For $25, you absolutely should buy the Guarded Inn if Castle is to your fancy.
Take it apart and use the pieces in your MOC. Besides the tudor walls, it has
lots of basic bricks and great detail elements (such as yellow shutters, a blue
door, a blue gobblet, and a white gobblet - little things that make such a
difference in a MOC.) I admit, reality is sometimes not up to expectations.
I'm terribly fond of the little set, but it's not, IMO, really worth the
hundreds of dollars that were being paid for 6097. However, for the price, you
can't go wrong for what it gives you. Just MO.
