Really nice haul! I never had one complete. I think the green dragon knights were the ugliest ever produced, but that temple is truly beautiful!

Yes, I used to give these guys away, but now I'll keep them with the temple! :)

The evil queen is one of my top 5 favorite figures ever!!  :love: I know a store that has this set for $65 if anyone's interested. The boxes have typical shelf wear for the age.

Really great find indeed. This is one of those sets who deserve to be called magical/fantasy. Absolutely one of my favorites too.  :wave:

Back in the day that they had a great fantasy theme instead of dubious dragon themes.

This set really shows a full adventure. A princess trapped by a dark sorceress and her henchmen, and a brave prince coming to save the princess (likely with the help of the magical sword)  :)

Great set indeed! Isn't that the 7774 temple, available on German DS (without accessories)?

A wodnerful set and i keep reminding myself i only have one . I love the green dragons, i have over 100 of them and this dragon temple is the palace of Iseroth's adversary in my Krull world the wizard leader of the dragon alliance

A lovely set with some very interesting features and some rather bespoke parts at the time if was released. I really like its design and love the klickies in it too ! Crystal prison what a grand detail as well as the throne and magic eye ! they dont make sets like that anymore !!!  :love: :love: :love:

Indeed I was thinking the same thign after I'd posted my comment last night in this set you would be inclined to say the Dragon Knights are probably evil but, I like the fact it's not just 2 warring factions they could be evil henchmen or Guaridng the sacred Dragon Temple say. If you comapre it with the modern magic/fantasy them to me it's so much better I also had the Arab Pirnce with his fair skinned wife and their baby, the Arab man on a magic carpet with his Alladins lamp, scroll and treasure box and of course one of my faovurite sets the big green dragon with the prince/knight on horseback. Much smaller than this set  but, the design of the Prince with his sword and the horses golden unicorm themed armour plus of corse the dragon almost comical with the face and great big claws combined with the wings and little hands  :lol: 8} what can I say I just love it  :knight:

:) That dragon was made for HUGS! Our first has been consistently squeeeeeshing everyone that comes within his grasp, saying "LITTLE FRRRIEND! :love: "  - have no idea how that started.  8}

That temple sells for quite inexpensively but complete with the queen you are lucky to find it all. Congratulations on your find and addition to your collection
