“A solid set that shines in the playability and parts categories. At today's price, it's a collector's item, but if you can get your hands on one, I think you'll enjoy it. I'm very fortunate to have one, and I think there are good reasons why this set is worth so much.”

“A great set that has tons of awesome features, along with rare mini-figures and a killer design. The cannons fit in well, and the walls looks really good. The flying ninjas is a nice touch too. If you can find it for a reasonable price you should definitely grab it!”
