These are a bit too juniorized for my tastes. I love the Mini-figs though and
the siege weapons are pretty good. Actually I like the Bulls stuff better than
the King LEO models although I like the King LEGO Soldiers and Female figs a
lot.
For Castle fans there are some good parts like in the Guarded Treasury there is
a Gray 1x2x2 2/3 arch window and the Bulls Attack set has quite a few gray
arches. The new Castle wall piece is disappointing however and if you get
these sets you will have more 1x2x5 DkGray Bricks than you could ever need (For
me 1 is more than I want but there are scads of them in the Castle sets).

I agree slightly but I still think the Star Wars stuff is the class of the
System line I don't care what theme you are into the Star Wars sets have parts
for everyone. As for the upcomming sets I am really looking forward to the AAT
I am a hugh Classic Star Wars fan but I am not in love with the Episode I
stuff. That being said though I think the AAT looks like a great model.

Town Jr. is what it is... BLUK. Who knows though with Brad Justus' comments
about wanting to cater some sets to the Adult fan maybe we will se a Town Sr.
range in the future with Houses, Shops, and Government buildings.

| (...) I've had mixed feelings about the 2000 sets. I've been very happy with the new Arctic ones. These are only moderately juniorized and provided a lot of neat, new parts that I've integrated into my creations. The castle sets look promising as (...) (25 years ago, 2-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)
