MARX made great playsets that have lasted over 50 years. This is also a great playset that will give children months of pleasure, but probably not years. The other MARX playsets had buildings and fortress walls made from tin or plastic which have withstood the test of time and are still used today. This particular set has walls made from cardboard, so it will most likely not last as long as the old sets. This drawback is mentioned on the box, so the purchaser knows before purchasing that the walls are made from cardboard. Other than this drawback, the set is huge and the castle is actually larger than the older sets. Still a great set!

cardboard castle is nice--it comes folded so needs to be opened and bent to shape .Figures and accessories are copies of the nice marx medieval accessories and later knights and are well done The plastic castle fittings were made for the old metal castles and don't fit the towers and walls properly and just 'perch' on top of the walls. I made 'adapters' to help them fit. Castle gates/ drawbridges have a similar issue in not fitting the cardboard walls and need adjustments. Overall it is a nice set and reasonably priced. If you plan to give it to a child be sure they are old enough due to small parts and the fragility of the cardboard castle.
