Your right! I always thought this about the two sets, but I never would have thought to point that out - you did so very well - really captured the feeling of the two castles.Sir Kohran wrote:6090 was a proud, warm castle that was the centre of the Royal King's power, a bastion of hope in the land. With the lion flags, the Royal Knight figs, and the King himself, the set was full of power.
6097, in stark contrast, was a forlorn, cold citadel that was a place of fear and darkness for the Royal Knights. With the bat flags, all the reds and blacks, and the desolate, rocky backgrounds, the set really looked imposing.

I'd love to get it. But I can't afford to blow 100 bucks on Bricklink right now (+20% since I'd be paying with Canadian dollars).
I'm buying a house, so my LEGO purchases have to be under the 20 dollar mark, and far between even then!

On the other hand, Nick, you can't -have- any useful spare pricks unless you sacrifice some sets to the Gods of Brick Fodder. Unless you spend ludicrous amounts of money at Bricklink just buying piece by piece.

Surprisingly okay set for the Fright Knight theme. The colouration and design are not half bad. The fig count is okay, but I agree with the problem with the lack of enemy figs.

When this came out, I bought 3 of them and made my 'dark/evil/black knight' castle. Expanded it but basically used the concept of the the original castle with central pillared hallway, tall tower in the back etc. I like this castle set, although compared to a 6086, a 6085, or a 6090 it isn't very impressive. Good for parts and has my favorite type of dragon made by Lego.
I'd give this set an 8/10.

20/10. 5000 thumbs up (gotta get some mutagenic antidote for too many arms)!
This is actually my favourite castle.

This castle began my dark ages. I'll never forget the fact that I was waiting for the "new" castle line and when I got the catalogue, I about died. Horrid!
In retrospect, it isn't too bad. It actually looks a bit like a castle and the parts were great. the inverted roof slopes made their first appearance with these sets, but you could get them with the Fright Knight's wagon.
The parts were terrific, but I wasn't about to buy this set just to get them.
