What Castle is this?

[BlackPearl2006]

is it vintage? what's it normally go for?ish

That's without a doubt the much praised 3666.

oh my.... someone in my state is selling it for $40 and claims it is a "full set."  It is about 2 hours away from me.  But, being it is the end of the month, I'm short on cash unless I put off some other bill..... but, assuming it is structurally complete, that would be an awesome deal methinks.

If it truly is a full set that is a very amazing deal, I got mine for a hundred euros.

But if this is the only picture the seller is showing, I'd be suspicious about how complete it is though, and the condition it may be in. Just seems to me that there might be a reason that hes only showing a picture of the manual and not the actual castle.

There is one other pic in his listing:

but I am not familiar enough with the castle to be able to surmise if that is most of it or not.

Not sure how deep that box is, but judging from the pointed roofs and those stairs standing up right in the box I'd imagine its enough to hold the entire castle so its a good buy.

Just don't count on the clickies, furniture and other accesoires being included though, since I cant spot any of that on this picture aside from the shields on the drawbridge.

That seems like a good deal to me if the pieces aren't smashed or broken.

Just as I was 5 mins away from arriving to pick up the set, I get a call from the seller who told me she can't sell it to me anymore because her daughter "found out" and was upset that her mom was selling it.  So she called the deal off!

Oh well!  Had I not been late, actually, I may have gotten away with it, lol, but at least she wasn't left with an unhappy daughter, so at least the day was saved, in a way.

Ah, that would have been terrible for the daughter, so I wouldn't feel bad if I were you, mate!

Aw, she was a nice mom to call off the deal! Was it a grown-up daughter, I wonder, considering the age of this set? It seems a lot of people are too emotionally attached to their childhood playmo to even consider getting rid of it. I know I was, even during my teenage years when I would never have been caught playing with toys!
