I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm ready for the bull faction to go away, though I'm sure they'll cycle through another time or two. A return of the forestmen would be nice, or perhaps another not-so-dastardly knight faction. At the very (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.castle)

Hi, Shiri! Nice job. If you get one of the new "Race" sets with the green hair, you might want to see how the Nixie (water sprite) looks with that, as well. Just a thought. ;-) Franklin (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.castle)
