Hey All,
I normally post in .castle but couldn't resist putting in my two cents here.
I agree with Adrian (nice web page BTW) about pieces from other themes being
used for space. I think that any piece from any theme can probably be used
in some other theme. Some might be difficult (I can't think of how I might
use a Bohrok canopy on one of my castles, but give me some time) :-). Heck,
the new Star Wars star destroyer uses "castle" theme goblets as accents. Up
until recently those have been a castle and town only piece. I have found a
way to use bionicle pieces in my castle stuff. I used the original Lewa's
axe for a giant's weapon. Some of the masks would work good too if you
could find a way to attach them to a technic guy's head. Anyway just some
rambling thoughts.
Thanks,
Josh
