Castle has been "juniorized" since the first 'wall pieces' came out. LEGO
fans were more willing to accept that because the castles, even though
they were made out of big single-purpose wall & tower segments, they still
managed to look cool (unlike the fairly dorky Town Jr.)
The new tower pieces aren't really any worse than the quarter-octagons, or
the half-octagons-with-windows that showed up in FK. In fact, of all the
wall segments, those are the ones I like most, because you can't build them
with normal bricks.
The arch does sound lame though.
Hmm...Hey LEGO! How about a wall-segment with a cross-shaped arrow slit
instead of a window?
