|
| | | I just finished building the 6085 Black Monarch's Castle and I was most impressed. This is an older set (1988) that I got on ebay and was definitely worth getting. I'm surprised it doesn't get more rave reviews in the notes on lugnet: (URL) also (...) (23 years ago, 29-Sep-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

| | | | | (...) Yeah, crazy Kerry should have done this to begin with... ...what a nut to have compared these two sets anyway! As if these sets even came close to one another.

But I probably would not have returned it except for the missing pieces, which gave me an (...) (23 years ago, 2-Oct-01, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.loc.au)

| | | | | | Hi, Considering I bought my 6098/6091 at half price, I am still dispointed despite the save, the set it poorly structured and when trying to see its features I always seem to knock of half the castle, It is very unstable also, making it even worse, (...)

At least if you post reviews in loc.au, you don't get abused for having written it. (...) (23 years ago, 1-Oct-01, to lugnet.reviews)
