6060 Knight's Challenge
1877 Crusader's Cart
3053 Emperor's Stronghold
6038 Wolfpack Renegades
6040 Blacksmith Shop
6041 Armor Shop
6061 Siege Tower
6062 Battering Ram

6075 Wolfpack Tower
6077 Forestmen's River Fortress
6080 King's Castle
6081 King's Mountain Fortress
10193 Medieval Market Village

And since we're dreaming, I want multiple copies of each one!

richie

awesome list!

The dungeon hunters was one of my all time favorite sets as a kid.

The ten dollar sets were and still are often the best value!

(my aunt at the time referred to it as my 'war wagon')

In a sense, I'm embarrassed to say this, but it's actually difficult to put together a Most Wanted list, when I have the sets I REALLY wanted as a child (thank you, Bricklink!). But I can think of a few...

6085 Black Monarch's Castle
6080 King's Castle
10193 Medieval Marketplace
6075 Wolfpack Tower
6078 Royal Drawbridge
6057 Sea Serpent
6059 Knight's Stronghold

Yeah... a few familiar names on that list have recurred on this thread...

I didn't even know those last three existed! :shock:

My top four is, well, that.

5. Giant Chess Set
6. Castle Tic Tac Toe
7. Castle Advent Calendar
8. The Good Wizard
9. Castle Coin Bank, for saving my pennies to afford all this stuff
0. That skeleton cart thing that was never released :(

I'm happy with my set collection, so most of the things I want aren't sets, in the traditional sense. Except for Market Village. :)

Bonus Non-Castle Wanted Thingy: I saw a rerelease of 4105 appear on LegoShop.com and then vanish. It was never available for order. It had, like, 483 pieces instead of the 500 it had in its previous incarnations, and I want to know what was up with that. It was also listed for $12.99, which is a good deal for 483 pieces. :)
I collect LEGO themes that start with "C." And Pirates. I call them "Corsairs."
