Has anyone else bought the Olszewski Cinderella Castle?

[DJ Disney Kid]

I bought it on my last trip and it just arrived today. It was $300 w/tax and after like 10 minutes with the lights on, it automatically shuts itself off. Is this common or am I going to have to pay to ship this thing back for a replacement? Just wondering if anyone else has bought it and had any issues?

It isn't defective. It's designed that way.
I have the castle as well as City Hall/Fire Station.

Can you post a picture? I thought the castle that they sold in resort stores was only around $75? Is this something different?

My DW and I have collected the entire Disneyland set, and yes the lights will turn off after awhile. It is very beautiful and at night, when the whole park is lit it makes us wish we were there.

We also have all of the attractions (Mark Twain, Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan, etc). I do not have the courage to add up the entire cost though.

We find the detail of the pieces fascinating.
