| (...) Heck no - I'd rather have bricks than pre-fab too. The only kind of walls I'd really think about ordering would be the quarter-octagon ones (both large and small), because you can't do that well with bricks. If I want a window I'll use an (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jun-00, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) What pisses me off (or would if IO was accually going to order from them...) is that you cant order 1 x 1 and 1 x 2 bricks, which are hard to get in grey AFAIK unless you buy a lot of the grey brick packs to get them. (24 years ago, 15-Jun-00, to lugnet.castle)

No arguments here with anyone, but I would make a small plea for printed walls (i.e. tudor, pirate arch brick patterns, dark grey on grey rock patterns, grey on black rock patterns, etc.) -- these are appealing for a variety of reasons having (...)

| (...) Yeah, I know what you mean there. The 'rock pattern' walls are pretty nice. I wonder...a lot of people don't like stickers because they're so permanent, but does anybody remember Colorforms? They were a sort of thick plastic 'sticker' that you (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jun-00, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) Hm. Those I have oodles of-- seems every castle Lego ever shipped has a million of those parts they use as crenelations at the tops of walls. They don't work so good for building with. :) -JDF (24 years ago, 15-Jun-00, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) That's my problem though. They do ship a lot in sets, but they are also some of the easiest pieces to lose, so if you buy incomplete sets (which I do a lot at grage sales and things) it's those pieces that are typically missing and I need them (...)

| (...) No, you're not the only one. I'm sure many castle fans want these - to some extent. But personally, I'd rather get bricks first, and accessories later... -Shiri (24 years ago, 15-Jun-00, to lugnet.castle)
