“It's very clever and well balanced. A lot of pieces interact with each other well (the bucket, the mine cars, catapult) but, the back is so spare looking, it's not good for much, though there are play features there.”

The Brothers Brick
“It's got great play features that had me running over and showing my wife as I built the set, and as I discovered each new piece, I kept thinking about how I could use them in my own creations.”

BrickEconomy Member Review
“The Dwarves' Mine (7036) from 2007 is an impressive LEGO Castle set with 575 pieces, including seven minifigures and a striking giant troll. The set features interactive elements like a functional minecart system, a blacksmith workshop, and a detailed tower structure with fun catapult and pulley mechanisms. While it's a bit fragile for frequent movement, the creative design, unique minifigures, and thoughtful details make it a standout.”
 

About Castle Fantasy Era

Fantasy Era is the name fans gave to the Castle line of 2007 to 2009, when Castle came back with monsters. In 2007 the Crown Knights fought an army of skeletons led by an evil wizard, in sets such as 7094 King's Castle Siege and 7029 Skeleton Ship Attack. In 2008 the dwarves arrived, defending their mines against the trolls and their army, who came with war wagons, a battle wheel and a troll warship. The trolls were large new figures, and the line also brought new skeleton parts and helmets.

Fantasy Era consists of 21 sets that ran from 2007 to 2009. As of today, 7094 King's Castle Siege is the most valuable Fantasy Era set with an estimated new/sealed value of $900.
Summary
Castle Fantasy Era Dwarves' Mine set 7036 was released on October 24, 2007, retailing for $60, it has since been retired. New, unopened sets are valued at $361, used ones can be found for $226.
