Hi Lindsay... Hi Santosh... Lego is not going to do this for us. We must do it ourselves. But it's fun to speculate (or is that to design?) (...) If somehow Lego were to go and do Roman for a castle theme, we would probably get a make-believe (...) (24 years ago, 10-Aug-00, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.castle)

(...) I would agree with you in general on this statement. But, it depends on what you are looking for. I wanted a unit of swordsmen. 4806 is hands down a better set then 4807, but it doesn't provide a sword. I see on Ebay, all the time, the larger (...) (24 years ago, 10-Aug-00, to lugnet.castle)
