there are other advantages for fire fortress!
~ nicest selection of drk grey basic bricks
~ 16x16 brown baseplate
~ 2 brown chains (look rusty)
~ net
~ beard element w/ an old ninja head so cool you won't want to cover it up
with the beard.
~ brown rope/ vine
~ beige revolving door holder (to go w/ beige door from #5988)
~ blue 1x14 "garage door" track piece
i have 4 of this set. i'm just crazy about it! i'm not knocking emp's
stronghold at all. i plan on a second when i see a sale. (maybe a third if
the sale is good enough! :-P ) all the red ninja sets are good, imho, and i
can't get enough of all of them. i'm building up my largest army out of
red ninjas to be mephisto's forces, btw. each of these sets furthers that
goal by two ninjas and i get lots of good building elements along the way.
later ~ craig~
