I thought I'd have a look at LEGO Ideas (which I mostly don't look at) to see if there were any castles, and there are currently five that have reached the 10,000 supporter threshold:

Count the studs, it's not that big

Not sure why you'd want the stand alone, but you probably have all the bricks you need to make one š¤·āāļø

Those are the little booster packs, aren't they?
Where's the monkey from?

It's a Kubrick Baby Milo... He's the only one of my Kubricks without a box so he lives on the desk... I've got loads of the Star Wars ones, they'll be coming out at some point... It's the c21st version of my mum's porcelain figurines... š¤Ŗ
I've got a fair few of these things, they're gonna have to go on display at some point, no reason to have them otherwise...

Ah, thanks, I didn't know about those.

White noise made from lego:

The sound of someone rumbling through a box of bits and snapping them together:

Also available on Spotify if you want to fall asleep to it:

What about the other classic Lego sound? The one where you bellow in pain as the brick you just kneeled on turns over. You could kinda synth that into whale song.

Amazing, a set designed by someone or other:

As LEGO reviews go, this is pretty good, as the reviewer and his son improvise all sorts of other things with the available material:

The best way is to find some in a skip, as happened to someone on here a while back, but I can't remember who it was.
If you want a large set, you will probably spend an arm and a leg. Then again, you could spend all that LEGO time watching discounts. :)
I'm sure there are good deals on job lots in the usual on-line marketplaces, but I never go near those.
If you want to buy new and just want LEGO, rather than sets (and remember you can download all of LEGO's building instructions from their site), I'd say this is currently a good deal (I've linked to it before):
It may contain colours you don't want, but it's quite a lot of stuff for the money, certainly way cheaper than sets.
Other than that, Argos occasionally do quite significant discounts of around 40%, and other outlets sometimes up to 33%, but usually just 20%, which I think isn't really a discount. You could sometimes get stuff at half price in LEGO shops, but I haven't seen that for some years.
LEGO, unfortunately, has always been overpriced.

Ah, thatās all pretty solid advice. Iāll have a cursory look on gumtree etc - but is just struck me that youāre likely going to have missing bits and headaches.
Might be one of those things that requires an amount of scoping out before buying if I want it to be affordable. Gah, who wants to wait!

It has always been priced at the market clearing price; enough people value it as currently priced that they don't care that you happen to disagree.
