Hello!
Thanks for the preview on the upcoming Castle sets!
> 1) Are those hundreds of boxes in those pictures in the showoff pictures
> still sealed?
Actually the boxes on the wardrobe are opened boxes with used (yet complete)
sets in them. However, I happen to have quite a lot of these sets also in MISB
condition. I collected in three stages: First I tried to get all the models.
That's not too difficult. After that I realised I'd like to have boxes for all
these sets, so I collected those. After that I wanted to have at least the very
first Castle sets I got (back in 1984) in MISB condition, which ultimately lead
to getting almost all Castle sets in MISB condition. There are some sets
missing, though, but the major ones are present.
> 2) Would you be willing to sell any of the sets, sealed or not,
> specifically 375 Yellow Castle?
Sorry, no. There are three versions of the yellow Castle, significantly
distincted by the colour of the flags.

And the perfectionist that I am I need the boxes for all of these sets...
> 3) Where did you get the red ghost shroud piece?
I once bought a bag with assorted LEGO bricks on a flea market in Berlin/Germany
which had this red ghost shroud in it. First I didn't know where this might have
come from. Later I learned that there was (maybe still is) a factory in Berlin,
that makes molds for the LEGO factory in Billund/DK. So the red ghost probably
was a test injection. They usually use red material for their tests.
Actually this red ghost is not exactly useful, but it's cool to have such a
piece. So, no, I don't want to sell that, either
Good luck with your collecting, and merry Christmas!
Bye
Jojo
