Beyond that, it looks like all the pieces have been recycled from previous Multiple sets, including Castle Attack and Castle Warfare (1964), Battle of the Knights (1965), and Carry Case Castle (1969). ![]() The big addition to Mysterious Castle is the cheesy dragon and his/her lair. It was the year that marked the beginning of the end for the traditional playset. Many or all of Multiple’s molds fell to Miner, much like Mego acquired various Marx Toys’ molds in ’79. At some point in 1979, Multiple Toymakers ceased operations and Miner Industries partnered with Union Major. The date on the Dragon Crest set is a guess. I found nearly the same set, renamed Mysterious Castle, in the 1982 Sears Christmas Catalog. ![]() I ran across the Dragon Crest playset at toyranch’s Flickr.
