I was sort of bummed after I saw their stuff too. (It's like, if you live in a
cold place, and go visit florida, then going back to the snow is even
worse... :)
After seeing those cool things that used NO castle-wall pieces, I couldn't
bear using any myself...

Cool! I'll have to borrow some designs, I definitely will need some red
creations soon <hint hint>...

Definitely! They look excellent, so long as they're not used on ground level,
AND sparingly on others.

You mean grey with red, right?

Hmm... I'm not sure grey will always rule. There seems to be a (still small)
trend of moving a bit away from grey - just a little, but it's growing... I
think combos of grey/black with colors is a great way to go to give a building
some personality!
