I have the answer:
Castle Wall Pieces that are mixes of old grays and news. No, not four types
of pieces. ONE wall piece that contains all four colors in it. Think about
it, if you make the wall pieces look like bricks made of all four colors,
you can make great looking castles that USE all four colors! This is the
answer to bridging the gap between old and new gray.
I'm sure this would be difficult to mold, but hey, I don't have to worry
about the manufacturing aspect. :D

| Jake contacted me and has asked me to post my opinion as to what specific parts I'd like to see offered in Bulk that would make the Castle people happy, much like the old grey train track makes the train people happy.
