Multiple Inns is the way to go I think. 7 x $38.50 + $90 = $359.50 ($51.36
each) With 247 pieces (bonus horse bonus horse!!) that's 21 centavos per
brick. Remember that each set has 5 classic castle walls, those sweet red
tudor walls, four classic castle figs, an absorbing little build and is a
PUB. Can you go wrong? I think not. *
Note that 3 inns will be $58.50 each, 4 inns will be $56 each and so on
(twenty inns would be $43 each -- and cost less than 3 blockade runners --
ah what a choice...)
For the arch-fiends:
2 black 1x3s, 1 lt grey 1x3, and 4 black 1x4x5 half arches (part #2339)
> Another option is Hagrid's Hut ...
But not via S@H -- wait for a sale at the shops, this one won't be racing
out the doors IMHO. Cute set, not quite essential -- but I don't think any
AFOL can be without at least one Guarded Inn.

that when I come home I'll have a whole new way to convert my income into
plastic.
