I finally got it!!!
I know this isn't as big of a deal to most you, but everyone here knows the pure joy (with a natural high side-effect) that I'm experiencing right now. My #6086 Black Knight's Castle came in the mail today! I can't find an appropriate emoticon for this feeling, so just picture Busch Stadium when the Red Sox won the series. I have been wanting this set since I was 8 years old. I used to stare at the 1992 US catalog for hours wishing I could have it, and finally, I do. If I had a digital camera, you would see a very proud man before you.

Hi Dragonlord,
The Announcements forum is only for messages saying "I am new here" or "I am leaving" etc and not for general topics. Since you just bought a set, that should be discussed in Buy/Sell/Trade and I will move this thread. Please read the ToS and the forum descriptions to post in the correct places. Thanks.

ok... serious that's a great castle, at least that's what they say... I haven't got it myself so I'd love to know too how much you bought it for?

115$ eh? This makes me very angry with myself. My neighbour used to have this set, and if I'd known at that time what it would be worth I'd bought it from him for 300DKK or something like that. That would be like 50$ today...

Great set. All those old castles are great. I love the half timbered house in the back. And the white dragon decorations. And the big flag. And the... And the... etc.
I'd love to snag a second one at a good price.

Don't let all of the talk about prices make you think you got a bad deal and ruin your enjoyment. If you're happy with it, you made a good deal.I got it for $115 on Bricklink, and the shipping was $7. It was in the US, too. That's the best price I've found for it. I've seen it on Ebay for around $150 usually. Sometimes less.
The dust provides a good protective layer. Keeps it from getting scuffed.i recieved mine for christmas in 94 and it is still together under a blanket of dust.

Unfortunately it didn't come with a box. But I got one from a friend of mine who still had his. He likes my LEGO stuff, but he's not an AFOL. Even the box is awesome.Gumby wrote:Uhh... now I don't feel so good about getting a 6086 (with a box in good condition) on eBay recently for $129 (plus shipping)... Yours came with a box?
