I remember looking enviously at the Bill and Mary idea book and
being upset that the yellow castle stuff wasn't available in the US.
I felt so disappointed. I was so entranced by them. That bitter
pang is probably still there inside, prompting me to buy modern
castle sets still. =)
The purpose of those books is, of course, to make you want to buy
more LEGO. I knew that even then, and felt cruelly tricked to
see the not-available-in-the-US sets.
Pity I went into my dark ages before the they were released in
the US. The Bill and Mary book had way-cool space models, which
I could for the most part actually make with the pieces I had, though,
so the book brought much pleasure as well as wistful longing.
