I do!!! Give me walls! Castle walls! In beautiful light grey, dark grey
and tan!!! (REAL Crusader [as in Holy Lands] castles) Give them printing!
Rock patterns and tudor style! I love them castle walls! I love 'classic
castle' and I love my 6080!

Then send them to me! I'd love them! I'm looking for about 200 more!
There's nothing better for a classic curtain wall!

I'm with ya on the castle minifig accessories. Give me bulk grey (NOT
black) helmets, ALL styles (excepting the Bat helm, of course), armor,
torsos and shields with new designs (why is it that Playmobil has like 12
different heraldic designs in print while Lego has 2?) forestman hoods &
hats, and yes the clssic smiley head.
So don't listen to the anti-wall blasphemers, Lego. They have their bulk
bricks. Now give us our walls.
