| | Arch question...
|

Is that one diver's set (sorry, don't know the #) the only one that comes with the gray, inverse, staired half arches? I found it on clearance at $40, which is a lot considering there's not much else in there that I want. I'm not sure if I should (...) (25 years ago, 22-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Yeah! That is a good idea. I've got an 'old shipwrecked pirate' that's got the beard on over the red ragged-shirt torso, and it looks pretty good.

I just happened across the small poly bag set (4811) for the 2000 castle series, yesterday and I just have to comment on it. Price and piece counts aside, this is one of the neatest sets in the new castle lineup. I have all the 2000 castle sets, (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)
