(...) I have to agree with you John, about the pricing situation. For that money you can get quite a haul at Bricklink. What I don't like about the model is the windows. Granted the arches over them on the 2nd and 3rd floor give it a nice Victorian (...) (18 years ago, 6-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Hmmm, for that price I can go to Bricklink and create a similar sized KILLER MOC™ of my own design. What's interesting to me is that I blanche at that price point, but I'll spend whatever it takes to build my own. Go figure. JOHN (18 years ago, 6-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

I just don't spend that kind of money on sets. I'd rather go to (...) (18 years ago, 6-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)
