Thanks you guys,

I think I'll sell the castle stuff as sets, but now that I look at the
space sets...there's some pretty cool pieces there, so I'm not sure how
I'll handle those.

Thanks again,

Dan

P.S. Now I have to go build my sets to make sure I have all the
pieces...work, work, work...I'm afraid I won't want to sell them when
I'm done...

(...) Yeah, that makes sense. Still, I'd love to get a lot of pitchforks and yellow timber walls, without having to buy a lot of older sets. (27 years ago, 31-May-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
