I got the sword and a couple of pitchforks in a big e-bay purchase of Castle minifig weapons and accessories. I didn't know at the time that they were particularly rare.

I have 3 of the black sword, 2 of the pitchfork, 1 of the chest and 1 of the white cone hat which should be part of this poll. :wink: I have as many as I need, but not a tenth as many as I want. :D

You left off a choice: None!

16 official Castle peasants, and not one pitchfork to pass around amongst them! :(

Can't say that I need a gray treasure chest to go along with the brown and black ones, and a black sword would be nice, but at the price people want for them, I'm quite willing to get out the black spray paint. The pitchfork lack is annoying, however.

I have 1 black sword, 2 grey chests, and at least 2 pitchforks. I don't know exactly how many pitchforks I have, but I would guess it is around 4 or 5.

I have one black sword (see ID Pic :D ), one gray chest, and 4 or 5 pitchforks.

But what about the Teal Katana? (7)
the light gray fabuland hammer? (3)
and the Black Halberd? (3)

These are not as pretty but the are certainly rare!

Ooooh and what about the light gray Slope 75 2x2x3 double convex! Now those babies are rare :shock:

I have two pitchforks. I also have one semi-rare black bird.

Trust me, I think I'm funnier than you do.
Why do I have to add the word "minifig" to my spell checker every time I use it?!

I have multiples of all :D Pieces like the white maiden hat should be included. I do have 2 grey treasure chests which are very nice - pieces that are hard to get in America.

I own three pitchforks - two of them close to MINT - two gray treasure chests and one black swords. One blacksmith with brown cape.

I used to have two maidens with white hats, but one of them recently emigrated to Canada :D

Hello!


Since there is already one "jealous of Jojo" thread I don't want to cause another and just voted "brown pitchfork". :-)

While white maiden hats and grey treasure chests are rare in America pitchforks ar rarer in Europe. There are two US-only sets that have one (1974 and 1877).

Also rare are the river baseplate and Maid Marian minifig from 6071, the horse barding and cloth parts from 6090, and the black crossbow (as Yaron pointed out in chat yesterday). And yes, the brown cape/apron from the Blacksmith shop can be considered rare.


Bye
Jojo
