Does anyone know if $39.99 for a 6087 Witch's Magic Manor is a good • bargain,
or can a better price be found on that set?

Here's something to try - just hold it and any other $40 set in your hands,
and feel the huge difference in weight ;-)


I've learned that it contains about eight BURPs, seems a tad steep to
consider it for Castle parts unless someone is building a restaurant in the
Rocky Mountains.  :o)

For BURPs the set is very cool, for 'figs it's not bad (especially dragon,
peasant hat and torso), and the other miscellaneous pieces range between
good and ho-hum. But, I think even if the BURPs weren't there the set would
still be better value than most $40 sets - so look at it this way: it's an
OK Castle parts pack at a decent price that comes with several free BURPs!
I've bought two and am quite glad I did.

Cheers,
