Well, the main problem I find is that the Castle-related elements in my
collection (prefab walls/roofs, bows, flags, barrels, flames) are so much
less versatile than the Space-related ones (e.g. wings, laser guns,
windscreens, radar dishes) for building across themes. I’ve just found that
Space sets are better than Castle sets for general versatility of parts (and
yes, I’ve built non-Space MOCs).

It’s funny you mention barrels in the .castle category, nowadays, we see barrels
as reactors on space ships quite often. As for the prefab walls, you are right,
they do serve mainly to create structures, but big engines can’t be used in
.castle neither, so I think both themes have their specialized parts that don’t
do well with some other themes.
However, the idea here is not to create a
debate (or, anyway, it wasn’t my objective) about specialized parts of wheter a
theme isn’t good. I think they are both really nice.
Preliminary results of

.castle : 64 votes
.space : 51 votes
