Your castle is amazing! How many bricks did it take to build that? I personally think your castle is right beside Ed Boxer's. (25 years ago, 13-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)

As far as I know the reflective silver bricks come in one configuration 2x4. They were (past tense) available in a tub and a bucket set. One silver brick per. They are hard to come by. (I think the Duplo tub had a Duplo 2x4 in silver as well) They (...) (25 years ago, 13-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)
