Does anybody know if any of the current Castle sets have
inverted corner slopes?
Thanks. Play well.

Wellllll...  If I read you right, you mean those 2x2 *corner* pieces,
smaller at the bottom, bigger at the top, that were rare until R2 and 3PO
landed in LEGO?  What I mean is there are *4* white ones in 7106 Droid
Escape (Star Wars LEGO) that runs for $6.97 at Wal-Mart here in California.
Brand Spankin' New for 2001.
BONUS!!  You also get two grey curved wall pieces that make nice castle
turrets, and a set of pukey gold armor for a funky lookin' knight.  Oh, and
a trash can on wheels (R2) and other assorted bits.
Buy 'em while they're hot!!!!!

Yep-- these are great :) But what I'm really amazed at is the selection of
"odd" slopes (corners & roof toppers) we've gotten from SW (the grey & dark
grey is great for castle stuff):

other Castle sets, these are dirt now)

What's really sad is that the SW sets make for 10 times better castle part
selections than the castle sets themselves, with the exception of minifig
gear, the occasional arch, and the token rounded window in the Guarded
Treasury (6094)...

(...) Well, I guess that is the answer I was looking for. You seem well versed on the availability of these items, so I guess I'm out of luck. I didn't realize that LUGNET had them rendered in all those colours. Anyways, just for the record this is (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)
