Now I'll have to order some of these
sets, too, if they turn out to be right.  Let me know, Dave, if you think of
it, because I think my church would look MUCH better with these parts.

As I recall you have black ones in the church now? Looks pretty good for the
charred rock effect, but I agree, having them in grey just expands the
possibilities a lot!

Yeah, but that's the thing- it's not supposed to look charred. :D  Especially
not the one over the doors, which is a full window surrounded by untouched
rock...

Anyway, the real secret behinf the church is that I'm too lazy to sit down and
build a full cathedral.  But I've been overcoming that feeling lately, and
eventually what you've seen should just be the front end of the nave, and it'll
actually grow transepts, etc, and be reborn as a non-bombed out structure.  One
thing that's kept me from doing this is the imperfection of black window
frames, though... so this should get me over that hump.  Wow.

I would
probably buy enough of any set to get about 8-12 of this peice.

Yeah, must be Lego's strategy. Put the valuable parts in the big sets :)
(stormtroopers, Darth vader, Princess Storm, etc.) Maybe in 2002 we can buy
these in bulk by making 10x32 half pipes for skateboarders :)

Argh.  How simultaneously annoying and uplifting.  Knowing that such a thing
might be coming is great, but it makes me regret the amount I am (no doubt)
about to spend on these arches.  Of course, I'll be getting a bunch of other
parts, too... oh well.

When I was a kid, my friend and I built a skate park, and we made halfpipes out
of slopes.  That worked pretty well.

(...) Yeah, I first saw them used in a MOC sometime a few months ago and it suprised me to no end... I had been looking around for the divers set but couldn't find it, and I was recently reminded that I should get some (for the AT-AT)... (...) As I (...)
