Why red? Beige would have been more interesting and I wouldn't mind yellow as
well.

Unless you are gonna build up an army of knights... or you next project would be
something like Hadrian's wall.... or the Great wall...

I wonder if this is a US only set... if it is, then you'll see overseas people

Castle has progressively been Juniorised since the Dragon Masters, and eventhough
sometimes the sets look bad, there are always some interesting side to them. I
recently bought the 2 newer Ninja castles (3052, 3053), and although intially they
looked rather BURP-y, when I was building them, I found interesting and unique
"design features" on each of them. Well, to each his/her own I suppose.
