(...) Yuk. I am an avid builder of things that would fit into the castle area, but I don't want to caught dead with such a thing as a "castle wall element". Or wooden palisades. Or BURPs (The "U" in BURP is not a joke...). Walls are supposed to be (...) (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, lugnet.castle)

(...) I agree. Castle wall pieces are not nearly as universally useful as plain old bricks and plates. You can make a Castle wall piece with bricks, plates, and an arch - but it's tough to make a car or a mecha out of Castle wall pieces. Marc Nelson (...)
