Yeah, I really like those too. Unfortunantly, there's practiclly no way to
get them that I could afford.

Yeah... I have the instructions for one (don't ask...)And I really like it.

So how do you build? (just wonderering. I know you have a picture problem,
but couldn't you use Ldraw, or *something*?
Out of the little sets of the *current* castles, which is the best for pieces?

I'll probablly get one of those soon...

I'm afraid that's well near impossible... my parents have never played with
Legos, and I do not think they would rather me play with them as much as I
do. None of my friends (well, friend) has many castle pieces, and anyway my
parents said 'no' long ago. They ask, 'why don't you build all the lego
sets you have' and point at a lego train show and say 'you can build that'
and then get angry when I point out how improbable it is. Oh well...
