And profoundly ucky. (Got my hands on it today.)
The element would be almost OK if they'd shaved one stud off
of its depth, so that you could use two of them to make an
octagonal tower.
I see why they made it the way they did - with the rear
walls being 2 studs deep rather than one, from the FRONT
it looks as if it might be an octagonal tower. But
it's not. Castle's getting cheesier - more like a movie
film lot of a wild-west ghost town - only meant
to be viewed from a certain angle.
Oh well. I like the minifigs. The Playmobilization of
LEGO continues.
Speaking of which, I'm interested to see a lot of Playmobil
on the retail shelves this year. Looks like they're trying
to compete in the market being blazed by Fisher Price's castle
and pirate sets. - as a mass-market toy.
