I agree. I understood the "Datsville" concept as a way to share individual
ideas and creations. Datsville exists to "showcase" our efforts, doesn't
it? Wouldn't you want a Castle themed town to do the same. If I wanted to
see TLG's castle ideas, I'd look at an Idea book held next to a product
catalog.
And for that matter, most medieval towns were centered around *a* Castle,
were they not? Even in the realm of fantasy, there is one castle per
village. So you only *need* one castle--and a truckload of peons to support
it. And a few lovely "maidens", I suppose.

Why does everybody insist upon Realism? Use your imagination--build a
horse. Let it be "horse-like", as the cars are "car-like" and the mini-figs
are "people-like."
Er, sorry. Touched a nerve there. I've had horses since 1978. And
elephants. And camels. And giraffes, not to mention cows.....
