I wouldn't buy it, not so much because of the fact that it is Beville, but that I can't see any good pieces their, anyone want ot tell me what it has? :wink:
I build, therefore I am.

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with Belville. At least they have the right scale (about 1:25). And they have adjustable limbs, so they can walk the stairs. Some of these Belville-ladies are perfectly at home on “Sokenniwell Castle”, my latest castle project.
In my case, the only task of the ladies is to give a reference for the dimensions of staircases, latrines and the like.
On LEGO-events they are very useful for getting a right feeling of proportions, especially for children. And kids like them very much. Put a few behind windows or something and they will have great pleasure in seeking them.
Above all, it is LEGO, so use it if you can use it 8)

Robin Hood,

Here is the inventory for that set:

There are some nice elements, mostly in terms of accessories and arches (plus the bear), but too many over-large pieces in odd colors for me.
