(...) Yes to some extent. I think my progression went something like this. Basic-town-Classic Space-Technic-Star Wars-Castle Early to Mid 70's was just Basic and some Town. Then I went hard core into Classic Space and stayed with it from when it (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Start with the minifig ... go with the theme;) Verneer has both a space and a castle version, and whatever is necessary for him becomes "in" for the time. (Castle or Space). I am too much of a minifig person though, so I am very biased;) -- pn (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

Back when I was about 12-14, I was highly into the castle stuff. I still like castle (and read this group), but I primarily like town stuff these days. In my current LEGO city, only about 15% is castle (actually just one big castle) and 85% town (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

Way back when the year 2000 catalogs were released (was that just half a year ago?!) there was a mention of the trans. blue spears that are supposed to appear in 8511, a yet-to-be-released set. After that, there was a flood of very cool ideas about (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)
