Hmmm, Not all newer castle walls are like the ones I got. The gray corners were
lighly textured and have a little gloss, the printed corners are pretty darn
glossy, The Guarded Inn re-issue gray walls have a light bumby texture but
still have some gloss. The walls I am talking about are like, well, sandblasted
or etched flat, There is no gloss on the front or the light bumpy texture, they
have a flat, pitted, no shine whatsoever finish. The sides and back all look
normal-shiny. Honestly I have never seen any walls that look like these, I
called Lego, They are going to send me replacements and I will send the ones I
have back to them. If this is the way these parts are now made, it is bad news
IMO, because they look like crap. John
