    Did anyone else notice...? —Michael Huffman

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)

     (...) No, it is Belville. TLG calls it Belville, and the 'figs are Belville Figs. :) Jeff (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)
    
         Re: Did anyone else notice...? —James Brown
     (...) 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)

     (...) The Bellville tower piece is liek 10 or 12 tall (the same height as those tall 2x2 columns). (...) Either tan or cream. (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)

     What kind of helmets are the two soldiers to the left of the gate in 6091 wearing. Notice one has a classic axe in light gray (spare parts for the yellow castle figs). Timbo (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)

     In lugnet.castle, Jonathan Wilson writes: <snipagge> (...) helms (...) I will agree on the bat helms, they are pretty sucky, always nice just to have a *very* few for variety, but not in massive numbers. Mike (25 years ago, 15-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)
