Nice set, good pieces, lots of accessories, a ghost, soldier, what more could you ask for in a set at this price? Too bad LEGO won't just make small army builder sets like this now. :(

8/10

A nice little set. I loved the value packs when I was a kid and was even less set in what theme I liked best...

I didn't get this till last year, but I like it. It came with the ever useful generic red scale mail and a decent assortment of alright parts. As a kid I probably would have loved it even more! I wish LEGO would produce more small sets like this, and even maybe value packs again. They were a great way to get parts and figs from various themes. I think they would still do well.

I like this little set, the variety packs were always loaded with a good assortment of parts and this is a perfect example. The structure is a bit odd , I think it is a token thing made just to give you a mix of pieces. I'd but the variety pack and all if I saw it today.

Here is a set I can truely appriciate. You get so many pieces for the ammount of money. If it came out now, I would easily buy 5 or 6 copies.

9/10

I wish I had this set. It is a good brick-mine and hs a ghost, I like ghosts and only have one :( . As for the usefulness of this you could use it aas one of those little guard huts like thaey have at buckingham (sp) palace, only medieval. It keeps the guard dry, and you could station and archer on top, so for a set of it's size it's realy pretty good. 9/10 really all you can expect out of such a tiny set.

God speed

This may be a Black Knight set but frankly I don't see what is desirable about it, other than that it is from the "Golden Age of Lego Castle". Nothing spectacular.

Precious memories, how they linger.

This little darling is the first castle set I ever got. Up till then, I liked castle but I stuck to Pirates and Space. I got this bad boy with the value pack, and the rest is history.

True it's not the most spectacular set ever, but it's got a special place in my heart.
