I'd buy this for my mother if I ever hit the lottery. Its a real beauty.
-
Wow, do want! The extra houses is great. My second favorite style, aside from castle, is the timbered / tudor.
-
Looks great, but I bet the shipping to the US would be a killer. :)
-
LOL
No doubt!

Easier than importing sharp swords to the UK, I bet. ;)

Having lived in England for a bit in the mid 80's on archeology related matters, and seen a good number of medieval structures from castles to catherdrals and a medieval tavern that was build entirely around an earlier Roman one, as neat as this looks in pictures, i'll gaurantee its cooler in person. Theres an awe that you feel actually being in places like this, a feeling that the age the comes out of everything and is actually in the air itself.

I second that. I had a short trip to england (1 week) and was lucky enough to visit a swordsmith in his own personal shop, and to see Warwick Castle. I've seen pictures of Warwick Castle, and while they're great, there is absolutely nothing like being at the top of Guy's tower and looking out over the landscape, or seeing the inner courtyard, in person.
The "Red Knight" (of Warwick Castle, not to be confused with our own ;)) actually took the time to not only acknowledge a geeky little 17 year old kid at the castle with his parents and siblings, but also to dismount his horse, show me his sword, and carry on a conversation while head to toe in armor and surcoat, was truly thrilling. I collected swords for a few years before, but seeing him in armor is a large part of what pushed me to the "I can do it too!" side. I need to get those pictures from my parents and post them.

Sorry it's foreclosed. Bank owns it now. But don't worry ... I'll pay the back taxes & buy it on the cheap. :P LOL Always wanted a summer tower overlooking Limerick.

Hmmm... I suppose the best way to deal with your bank is via trebuchet? Sounds great to me! :)

I wonder how long allowance would take to be able to buy that.
20=month
12 months
$220 a year
5,000,000 years.

Wait, we can't? It worked in Gargoyles.

Dude I love gargoyles I just was refreshed about it recently and thought "wow that show is so familiar." Ive started watching it since.
We could all pitch in money, but I don't know if you can buy a castle with paypal.
