Oh, I would much rather have seen the Ninja walls as pre-printed slopes even
if the set cost was slightly higher (which undoubtedly it would be). I see
great ADVANTAGES to this:
They would most likely have used a 2x2x3 extreme slope (6 of them per Ninja
wall). One result would be that the walls could be more finely graded in width
and height. Another result (which would the biggest advantage to my mind)
would be that there would be corner pieces which work (the slope of the Ninja
walls is slightly different than the 2x2x3 extreme slope, and therefore has no
matching corner piece.
