What? Castles had walls in real life? Where did you get this crazy idea?
I thought they all consisted of pre-shaped ground, trap-doors, and ghosts.

Agreed. I think Lego® inspires a lot of creativity building-wise, but the
trend to promote sets through predesigned storylines restricts the true
freedom of creativity in play and storytelling. Those of us who collected
in the 1980's have been known to develop entire worlds and stories (as
indicated by one of the other questions on this quiz). It is nice to see
how each of us interpreted the BF or Crusaders or whoever differently in our
stories. If we all started with preset good and bad, we all would have
ended up with similar stories. I prefer it when it is more open to variety.
(Limitless Possibilities, the old marketing phrase, was not just about
building.)
