A lot of people use the SW sets to augment their Castle stuff - and I, of course, do the same. I was curious what people thought the *best* SW set was, not as a SW set, but as a purchase for your Castle stuff. "Best" could be defined however you (...) (24 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) 3x3x6 castle wall corner in brown. One obvious use is that if one gets so many 1/2 octagon pieces that one is at a total loss as to how to use them is that one can slightly increase the height of a tree or two (of course it only takes 18 sets (...) (24 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Thanks for posting this - I was not aware of the tree trunk piece. They finally ran out of the Dark Forest Fortress locally, and I can always use some peasant-types. Bruce (24 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Just to clarify: there's *not* a 'tree trunk' piece in the Desert Skiff. The piece I was referring to is a brown 6x3 half-octagon plate. Two of them together form an octagon the same size as the octagons formed by four of the quarter-octagon (...) (24 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Man, no kidding! I had always passed this set by thinking that it had too many specialized pieces, but on your recommendation I went and picked up two at K-Mart tonight. Great elements and 'figs! Chris (24 years ago, 18-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I've purchased several "B-Wing at Rebel Base" sets (set number???) to augment my Castle parts. I don't have the specifics in front of me, but for about $30 you get somewhere around 330 pieces, including: (if my memory serves me correctly) + (...) (24 years ago, 18-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)
