I never understood why Ninja was a Castle subtheme...to me the two series are unrelated and just because the sets represent the same era, they took place in different parts of the world and I don't see any thematic connection (...)

With the gray steep slope and steep slope corners in the 7184 MTT, you can build a "Retrocastle", a gray version of the yellow castle! KL (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)

Well, I know where my money is going next year. Some thoughts: 7184 (MTT): 2 (maybe 4?) extreme corner slopes in dk grey! WAHOO! Also, several normal extreme slopes in dk grey, and all that brown. IF my eyes don't deceive me, those are 2x2x2 slopes (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general)

(...) As far as Castle vs. Ninja, it's debateable as to whether or not Ninja belongs in the same sub-theme. As far as being eastern/western, I think I'd agree for the most part except for the one key difference of having guns. That seems to put the (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)

Aren't the new castle wall sections a Bellvile piece, but in gray? Aren't they a little taller than the standard wall piece... like 6-8 tall vs. 5 tall classic wall piece? On the 6091, are those lion head bricks on both sides of the front arches in (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)

(...) If you mean the tower elements from 5808 (which is Scala, not Belville) shown here: (URL) then no, they aren't. The Scala piece is much larger - something like 6x6x12 (probably wrong - I haven't actually measured it), whereas the new castle (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Whups! You're right. The page before is Scala, though, and that's what I used as a reference. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it! It's a moot point for me, really, since neither Belville nor Scala are available in Canada. James (URL) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)
