Hey, I only buy if I think it's worth it now.  That set taught me a lego
lesson about quality.  At $90 USD, the set did not contain the needed
quality. But I probably would not have returned it except for the missing
pieces, which gave me an excuse.

I am not necessarily cheap -- just frugal, I did recently purchase 8 Guarded
Inns. #10000 has value for the money.  Compare the price per element of
those two sets in USD and you will see there is little point in buying those
KK sets except on sale.  And even then it might be questionable.  If I see
6091 at 50% sale price I *MIGHT* buy it -- but even at that price it would
be uncertain.

I'd readily spend $70-90 USD for a rerelease of the 6085!!!
