I have had dreams that I found a Yellow castle or its minifig complement at
a yard sale, but it never happened for true! Lucky, lucky. The yard sales
in my area are not exactly heavily laden with Lego.

Hee hee! Quite a few of my yellow castle era shields have glued-back-on
handles. Stepping on a Lego shield makes the most sickening "crunch" sound.
I never had a sword break on me, though. How did you manage that? My
biggest broken pieces are the chin guard on the old space/castle helmets and
of course, the flag and saddle clips. I prefer the old style, 'shinier'
plastic from the early castle period.
