Hi,
Considering I bought my 6098/6091 at half price, I am still dispointed
despite the save, the set it poorly structured and when trying to see its
features I always seem to knock of half the castle, It is very unstable
also, making it even worse, and seems only half built for a seige at the
front, at the back there is nothing there.

I also have 2 complete 6085's which I can say are very handy, they can join
up using the hinge system to create a mighty castle, it is protected on all
sides making it hard to seige, and can open up when having a look inside
without destroying everything as in the 6098/6091.

Lego's re-release of the 6067 was great, I ended up getting 3. However I
sold one and auctioning off the other because I need the money to buy sets
such as the 6060, 6086, 6048 (just about anything old castle) etc. I also
like the 6080, cause I just built a complete one recently. I actually bought
a 6085, 6012 and 6080 together off a fellow Aussie - Victorian. The 6080 is
great because it has so many castle walls, nice shields and additional
cavalry. Wouldn't mind another one if it comes by to have 2.

BTW one of my 6098's is boxed, how much is that worth, I mean it is built
and comes with original instructions and box.

Regards,
James

*About to get yet another 6086* *yeah*

Actually I did buy my 6091 at half price! I had resisted it at full-price
because I didn't think it was worth the money. Besides which, at half-price,
it was less than AUD100, which is a psychological barrier for me.

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

I think the rerelease of any of the castle sets of that era would cause a
stampede. Having been in my Dark Ages through that period, I am now forced
to buy them on ebay etc. However, I have a couple of rereleased Guarded Inns
coming my way soon , so that is something to look forward to.
