Hi Black Knight,

This topic is about buying a castle set so it belongs in buy/sell/trade. General discussion about LEGO Castle sets belongs here. So I will move this topic.

There are reproduction sticker sheets for sale online, so be careful what you buy

While I would never spend that much, it does seem a pretty good deal, as one sells for about $300 on ebay without the box. If you have that much spare money, why not?

If you have the money, I would say it is worth it (for being a collecter, which I am not)

Everything looks like its in good shape anyways.

As for the sticker sheets, well, they are reproductions from the look of it - I would have no problem using them - as for you, well, that's up to you.

Worth it for the figs alone! Although only half the cavalry is there, all those figs would surley run just about the same price on Bricklink, so basically you get two yellow castle buildings free.

Nice.

This post seems appropriate for buy sell trade. Is this what these are going for now? Wow! This seems to be 2 castles, and about 80% of the figs for one set. I wouldn't pay that kind of money for this, even if I had it. BTW, why do you think the stickers are "fake?" They seem OK. I wouldn't mind getting a replacement set like that, even if it was made by an AFOL.

Is it me, or does the tower on the castle on the right hand side, look smaller than the one on the left?

It looks like it is smaller by one brick height.

It could be this or maybe just the way they were shot at different angles.

Jon.
