Hmmm...compelling. But I think the jury's still "out" for my purposes, because I
just got a 7184 MTT, and it's got a lot of very Castle-useable pieces, IMHO. Lots
of dark grey and **brown** large plates (4x12s of the latter), steep-slope 2x2x3
corners and sides, and four Ninja-type shutters in brown. There's also a
sliding-mechanism (for the droid rack), and all of this is before mentioning the
wealth of dark grey, tan, and (especially) brown bricks. (I think there are 6
1x10s). It doesn't seem that remarkable in terms of piece types, but considering
the colours I'd say it regains the title. For $50 (retail) it's not a bad deal,
either--and you can probably make $10 back auctioning off those silly Battle
Droids. ;)
But then again, it's on a very different order than 7104.
