More feedback from me, since there doesn't seem to be enough general
feedback on this topic. :P
I really like the idea of releasing a bunch of castle Legends in new gray.
This would be a great way for us to start building our new gray collection.
I would also like to see a old brown "house building" set consisting of
windows with lattices, plates, slopes and various doors. Throw in a
pitchfork or two also and you'll sell a bunch I would think.
Thanks for reading!

| Jake contacted me and has asked me to post my opinion as to what specific parts I'd like to see offered in Bulk that would make the Castle people happy, much like the old grey train track makes the train people happy. He suggested maybe Castle Wall (...) (20 years ago, 5-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, lugnet.castle)
