Nah, that doesn't make sense. What WOULD make sense is ONE corner wall and 2-4 straight walls. Otherwise, you'd only be building skinny towers over time, to use up all the excess corners.

(...) Except in rare cases, the tool has to be a tighter tolerance than the product. I have no trouble whatsoever imagining (read that as speculating please!) that the tolerances on the molds are at .001 mm and that due to non uniform cooling, (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) I can't get into the Web Club to read this (because my userid has been nuked for some reason) so I don't know the context.

When I went to (URL) noticed this statement Thousands of a mm - that's the tolerance of accuracy at the LEGO mould factories. I don't think that you mean that the tolerances are on the order of meters (a thousand mm is a m), do you? Chris (23 years ago, 10-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

After a nine month drought of not buying new LEGO, sans a LEGO Racer and the Droid Escape set, I have pre-ordered my Guarded Inn, and this is from someone who was never once intrestead in Castle sets.

Excellent, a very nice surprise, but when would it be possible to use lego direct from the rest of Europe (Spain, for example). It is really disappointing to know that the Guarded inn is available again, but not in your country. Anyway, I am just (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) I think for a more diverse mini-figure set it would be better to re-issue Castle-Mini Figures. It has 2 forestmen, 1 lion-sheild, 2 black falcon sheild, and a Peasant.
