Quite possibly one of the coolest playsets ever, it even has secret passageways. Sadly I was eight when I saw my first one, so I had to be all cool about it. I want one now though, for my kids of course......
About two years ago, I found one of these discarded along the curb near my Dad's house after one of his neighbors moved. We picked it up for our son, and he's still playing with it today. One of the flat-out coolest playsets I've ever seen. He loves it! And I wish I had it as a kid!!!
All we got was the castle, so I never saw the figures before. Very cool!
I miss my FP castle. Sigh. The versions made today are so lame and lifeless.
Crazy timing on this post. I was having such fits of nostalgia and longing, that I ordered this playset for my son; it should arrive today or tomorrow. Not the same, I know, but it says it has a secret door.
I have one in the basement of my parents' house. Still has a lot of th accessories, but the foam in the beds disintegrated. I went through all of my FP stuff a while back and brought all the figures I could find home with me.
Ha ha It really was THE coolest play set fisher Price ever made, I grew up with one of these. It was my brother's first, but I of course took it from him, It brings back tons of memories!
This site rocks! I always wanted the castle. I remember I went to someone's house and they had it thrown in the corner. I pulled it out and played with it for hours wishing I had it.
The trap door/ secret passage had a profound effect on me as a kid....the wonder and mystery of it delighted me. I always loved that sort of thing. (Still do).
