Hi Henri from Belgium there, Nick from Belgium here. I was 5 when I got this set from Saint Nicolas. I asked in my letter for the bigger one but was nonetheless over the moon when he left this set with me and my mother. The "secret" stairs up to the wizards lair with his magic spell to controll the dragon. The secret passing under the mountain and the much more secret ladder at the mountain side to steal the spells. I played with it all day; was one of the most happy 6 decembers I had.
Hey Nick, I have no doubt that you had a magical childhood with this set. but when I look back on it now as an adult of 43 years old, there are some reservations to be made.... But it's of course a set with beautiful parts and figures. You can live out your own fantasy like a child and experience hours of fun. I personally had some trouble building it, the baseplate, and the color palette isn't quite my cup of tea. Thanks for your comment! Greetz Henry
Thanks for your comment! The quality of the drawings are as always very beautiful. Only with the last pages I had trouble seeing which parts still needed to be added, it looks a bit busy because of the large ready-made parts. Greetz Henry

It's definitly not a favorite of mine as a set but i do love those old illustrations! The vintage look is just really good :D
