If you’re looking for a good deal on a biggish LEGO set (and didn’t find it at LEGO Shop), may I suggest the 996-piece King’s Castle set? Lots of pieces and details, and currently at an all-time-low price of $69.99 shipped from Amazon.

There was a time (when my kids were small) when I would’ve blanched at the thought of forking over $70 for a set of plastic bricks. Now that I’m older, wiser, and poorer, I know that’s actually getting off cheap.
