Castle jr. succinctly describes my opinion of the 20 Castle series...

Another theme I missed while in college...for the most part...I am happy
with the few figs I have, but I dream of a Battrax once in awhile...

I am not a train fan, but if a etroliner ever came back...I would buy
one...I always liked the look of that set

Don't make me cry, I never had the money to buy one of these in
college...man I am regretting some of that money I spent on beer...lol

I recently went to an upscale family Toy store in a nearby city and saw a
wall of playmobile and a shelf of Lego...The play mobile sets are quite
impressive in size and scope now...I was particularly intrigued by the new
interlocking Castle wallsystem they have and a variety of Pirate an
Castle/Viking ships...They seem to thoroughly develop each them...I laughed
when I saw they had minifigure biker motorcycle gang type sets and very cool
racing motorcycles...truly an eclectic and fun mix for a child...oh and lots
of pirates...Pay Mobile seems much more expensive, but I bet quite
interesting for a child...maybe even some adults = )
