(...) I question the need to "enhance" the realism. The Lego world is its *own* very special and unique realism. Changing the minifigs to be more like exact models of the real world rather than abstract (and well-recognized!) representations is a (...)

Snippage (...) I was thinking the same thing the other day. A bulk castle tub with arches, windows, knights, horses ect. And lots of bulk grey brick of all sizes. I'm not even really into castle and I would buy several. So would everyone else. They (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jan-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Yes, the 32X32 blue as a single item has been discontinued for a while now. The glimmer of hope is that Pitsco Dacta still sells a pack of baseplates (4 or 5 I think) that includes the 32X32 blue.
