| | | | | | | (...) 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 (...)

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 (...)

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 (...)
