(...) Larry - for some reason this phrase struck me as particularly funny. I would describe "Freaky desire" as the sensation that occurs as you go on a late night BrickLink hoarding spree, buying out the only 30 copies of some obscure part from 9 (...)

Because they have a VERY large # of them. Bryan K's post is probably spot on. TLG never has seemed to have a clue about windows/doors - when have you EVER seen a door/window pack that had a proper ratio of doors to windows? I guess in LegoWorld, (...)

I bet it has to do with the number of doors and windows packed in each set. 3734 has 5 left doors and 5 right doors. This is enough doors for 2 Metroliner style cars.

My local Target moved the 4709 Hogwarts Castle to 75% off - $22.xx. As a bonus the Lego Maniac magazine Harry Potter coupon worked too, although the coupons ring up as $0.45 (?!) so you have to be sure to have them correct it. Good hunting, Steve (21 years ago, 23-Apr-03, to lugnet.market.shopping)
