I agree! All teal pieces from Rock Raider sets are a nice touch for a Castle
or Temple. My view is that, in general, the Underground sets are not very
nice, but have some interesting pieces. For example the DkGray wings used in
the feet of 4940, or the big three-blade brown propellers from 4980.
The late ninja sets (with blue roofs and tan walls and brown baseplates) and
Amazon Adventurer sets also ought to appear in future Auczillas I think....

It would be nice to see you in Auczilla, but beware, it makes you feel like
a small kid in a candy store. You let your money fly and you don't notice
untill you see the added total of your bids....In any case it's money very
well spent :)

BTW: Is "teal" = "aqua"?

| (...) Hi Todd, Please, do us Castle fans (I'm prolly not the only one who wants this) a huge favor and include LOTS of Qui-Gon Jinn torsos, otherwise known as peasant torsos in the Castle context. We love'em, we need'em, and those who don't happen (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)
