Heh. I'd settle for no new elements and just non-juniorized castles like
back in the day... sigh... Oh yes, and no more black castles. How about tan?
Or white? Tan & white arches galore! Tan & white extreme slopes! Heck, all
varieties of tan & white slopes! And more brown pieces for scaffolding,
interior support beams & floors! And bring me some of the old style square
doors in brown too!
But as for new pieces, how about more castle decorations like the tan lion's
head? I'd love to have those in other colors, as well as some new
statues/carvings... Oh yeah, and how about some realistically sized weapons?
Enough of these x-long axes and way-too-huge silver swords. How about a
double edged battle axe?
In other news, anyone planning on some new rounded castle towers now that
the SW Escape pod set comes with two cheap 1/4 8x8 round, 5? high wall
pieces? (UNPRINTED!) I've gotta say, with those pieces, the 8x8 radar dish,
the 4 1/4 8x8 curved grey plates, and the relatively cheap price, I'm gonna
be stocking up on this set like crazy! Who needs castle sets when we've got
SW sets and bulk ordering? :) [a good supply of slopes and arches doesn't
hurt though]

| Castle lovers, Like you, I am hoping that the lack of a new castle theme in 2001 doesn't mean the end of the castle theme for good. On that note, what new elements would you like to see in any upcoming castle themes? The Pikeman's helm (most likely (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)
