NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo not castle walls, who builds with them
anyway? I've got 3 shoebox size containers full of them and I never use
them. BRICKS... and more BRICKS... that's all I need, cool bricks,
corner slopes 33, 45, 66? (extreme) in all colors, 2x2 extremes in all
colors, arches with out the stupid FART's that are in the arch pack, in
all colors. Doors, both curved and 'panel' PITCHFORKS! helmets, bulk
classic smiley heads, more female heads, new and unusual torso's that
don't belong to a 'clan' (Of course, I'm sticker crazy right now.. and
enjoying the 20 new figs I've created!) the Red, White, Black maidens
caps, in more colors, how about blue and green?
ARGH, I could go on.. though I need to get back to school for class...
please please please Lego, don't give us castle walls.. give us good
building fodder. We want to give you our money... it's not like you
don't have a product we don't want... we do want it!
