Well - I'll agree with you on most sets from castle - those ugly
panels for walls, instead of bricks - what were they thinking?! When I
was a child, I used to play with 375 Yellow Castle and 6069 Guarded
Inn - I think I may try to get those complete again, just for old
times sake - especially the yellow castle. It is just so much cooler
to build out of bricks than out of these premade panels :)
