You can create a hollow effect with other bricks (but you might need a bit more
than two pieces :-)

I don't really mind the raised base plates because they are a nice cheap
solution for building mountains.
I have a strong dislike for the castle wall pieces. You can't build "realistic"
castles with them, and you can get a much more realistic look with just a few
more pieces (ok, 5-10 times as many pieces).

I just mentioned BURP's because I expect it to be a cheaper solution than the
one I actually want - a mountain built of plain bricks and plates.

That's POOP's (technically BURP's aren't POOP's). The only reason it is bad is
that it reduces the reusability of the models. We should demonstrate that by
publishing non-POOP versions of those sets _with_ alternate models.

It can easyly be substituted with (hmm, lets see) two 2x2 bricks and ten 2x2
cylinders (right?), maybe even with a technic axle in the core. A much more
flexible solution.
Play well,
Jacob
