(...) You could well be right - I think a lot of it is the proximity of the item in question to people who actually suffered from it. The propeller driven biplane isn't viewed as much of a threat anymore. The Spitfire may go the same route (but at (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle)

Hey all you Castle People. This is Barek'No and his Airship. He has several beast men on board to carry out his orders. (URL) was at Brickfest, but his airship was not. :^) ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head (23 years ago, 27-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle)

I agree. Just about everytheme has some form of violence worked into it. I mean, even city center sets had Jail Break Joe. Violence is kind of hard to completely avoid. Most of our society is built around action, and action more often than not (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle)
