I saw this on Hank's hotlist. Produce three large card castles from a paper bag.
I am unsure about it...I would like to hear reviews from those who have purchased it. Thanks!

I do not believe they are large but mini card castles. The only question I would ask is, can they stand on there own after prodution.

I just handled these today. I think that they are made in China. They are made of miniature cards, and theoretically they SHOULD stand, but they are constructed VERY tightly, not allowing the supports to drop down. I know have the supports folded in the opposite direction, in hopes that they will loosen up, but I don't know how long it will take to stretch out the tape so the supports drop naturally. Unlike the Dreambags, these do not allow the bag to be shown empty before the productions, either.
When and if they actually stand, they will be about 15" tall. |

I've sold these items. They seem to be OK!

I don't own these but I have seen and handled them and from what I remember, they are so-so but nothing magnificent at all. The ones I saw did not stand on their own, at least not for more than a few seconds and you had to fiddle with them just to get them to balance at all. And no, they are not very big. IMO there are better castles out there and I would pass these by but maybe others have had more success with these.

Note: Any new card castle need breaking in, you stand them up for several hours and work with them. This loosens them up to work well. These small ones I have seen and with proper care will work for a long time.
They do stand on there own! |

I am not recommended to purchase this item, as quality is not good. The card can not stand properly because the support is stuck.

So would you recommend these as good card castes for the price. If so I may have to check into them again. I didn't realize they needed breaking in. Thanks much. Landon |
