Ah I had the complete normal-sized set (bought each lion/separately), a mini set that came packaged together, and the castle that opened up and had a bridge of some sort. I will have to find pictures online.
Edit: Here is the castle and here is the mini-set. Man those prices are crazy for complete sets in good condition.
Dude thats beautiful . Would you sell it?I was amazed to see this at a thrift store and would have beaten myself if I had passed on it. The plexiglass case itself would have cost multiple times over the 25USD I spent on it. Why would you part with such a thing? Pissed off (ex)lover? Dead kid's belongings? I'm not sure but it's a thing of beauty.

So bought a couple of games from my local retro game/pawn shop. I bought Kirby's dream land for $10, Sonic the Hedgehog GG for $4, 2 ps2 games for my nephew(ice age 2 and Tetris worlds) $2 each and finally Pokemon leaf green that when I got home found out that it's a fake copy. They swapped the really board for a fake. So I have to go back to the store tomorrow and get my money back

Yeah it does suck but they have another copy of leaf green and 2 copies of Pokemon fire red and I'm bringing my tri wing screw driver to open them tomorrow. And if they are all fake I'll probably get the AR Max they haveThat sucks about Pokemon Green, but cool about the others.

They don't even test there games. So I'm not surprised at all. The game basically freezes when you try to save the game so I opened the cart just to check and this is what I found.I'm surprised they got away with selling a dupe.

Atleast to me it looks fake

Yeah I kind of figured it was a fake cause at first when I tested it in store it has a save on it right at the beginning of the game and the name was test, but I kind of figured that maybe the store did that to see if it saves. But when I got home I started a new game put my name in and when I went to save the game started to save then it froze for about 10 second(with no sound) then unfroze. So I knew something wasn't right. So I tried it in my retron 5 and it kept coming up as unknown cartridge and I know that when the Retron 5 does that it's a fake game. So I open it up and those chips and that blob of resin confirmed it.Yeaaaaaaah, that's fake, I'd get refund or replacement.
The easy way to tell at a store without opening it up is just to look near the cart contacts, the nintendo logo on the fakes are made with a real thin font, where as real carts have the regular size fontThey don't even test there games. So I'm not surprised at all. The game basically freezes when you try to save the game so I opened the cart just to check and this is what I found.

In addition to the usual mountain of books

Just the thumbnail, if you are bored you can click to see all the titles. Did also get another one detailing all sorts of formulas and recipes for everything from explosives to industrial quantities of mayonnaise to cattle worm treatments circa 1940 but it was deemed a cook book and thus prevented from joining my collection of cool books.
and tools and legacy/hard to come fastenings that few are bothered by
I did actually get something gaming related for the first time in quite some time

£5 for a mini mechanical keyboard, probably could have haggled a bit but thought I would let the guy have his "win". US layout unfortunately and not sure what to think about no numpad beyond it will be easy to cart around to places.
That said the one I found back in 2016 ( https://gbatemp.net/threads/things-you-recently-bought-or-got.347639/page-341#post-6569949 ) is still going strong and in some ways is better than the new one so eh.
