| | | Well, I guess people who've paid more than $150 for those old Guarded Inns feel pretty ripped off right now. :-D Lego, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!

| | | | | | Heck, the set really doesn't impress me much. I DO like the Tudor walls, and would love to be able to buy the straight and corner ones separately in bulk, so I could build decent-sized buildings. I DO like the hanging sign. I LOVE the blue chalice (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
