Any WWF fans out there? Is it just me, or do these new bad guys emblem remind you of the People's Champions Brahma Bull? Very cool... (...) Saving pennies??? Time to start parting out sets, and selling pieces I don't need. Need to build funds, and (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Its the same dual hill baseplate which premiered in 5986 Amazon Ancient Ruins. It looks like they made good use of it. (...) Those lion lintels look like they might be cream colored. Those towers are in the same 16x16 modular tower vein used (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Has the 6090 baseplate been used anywhere else? One of these days I'd like to put together a reference of baseplates. (25 years ago, 12-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Not to my knowledge... Pity, as CRAPPs go, it's not too bad, IMHO. The 'river gorge' baseplate has been used in two sets so far (three counting the 2000 Castle): Amazon Ancient Ruins (green, jungle printing, river through the middle), and Rock (...) (25 years ago, 12-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)
