I also agree on the Strong points. About the only good use I have been able to
think of so far for those pieces. I was thinking of something like reenforced
columns on either side of a gate or at even intervals along the outside walls.
Towers are definitly out IMO though they are just way to small.
On a side note I finally got some 2000 sets yesterday at the BOGO 50% off sale
at K-mart. They didn't have much of a selection but I got most of the small
Castle and SW sets and I plan on posting reviews starting tonight.
Other then that I have been suffering from serious LEGO Building Block lately.
I have had a few flashes of inspiration but nothing I have been able to
followup on yet. If anyone has any ideas for inspiration I would appretiate
it.
