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.
I built and returned a 6091 that was missing some pieces (the earliest sets
in the U.S. were distributed unsealed, as if that would keep little hands
out of the boxes!) and I was VERY disappointed. The only modifications I
tried once it was built was to change out the moulded baseplate for the RR
Headquarters #4990 one (which gives it a more sinister look) and then I made
my own tapestry for the throneroom area (black and red with a giant FK bat)
and then I made a little black dressed King with a golden crown on a red
throne. I added some black dragons as guards around the outside and then I
had something half-way decent. Not good, but it was at least amusing and
for the week I had it up people seemed to like fondling it a bit. I told
people he was the Crimson King. Anyway, then I grew annoyed with it and
returned it. I have never seen it on sale such that I would pay the asking
price. I have managed to buy up over 65+ black steeple headdresses from the
set though...generally speaking it was the only element from the set I had
to have in quantity.
6085 rocks, of course! I have 2-3 of those and they are great for elements,
especially the black macaroni if I recall correctly. Thanks to those sets
and some deals with another lugnut I have 100s of those macaronis...
