True. Every set has too many specialty pieces, and they can't be easily
integrated into other themes. Plus, the price:piece ratio is too expensive.
I'd buy a few of the sets, IF they went on extreme clearance. Of course, that
would only be for a very select few pieces, namely the brown chains, two-piece
rocks, some of the tools, the gray bricks, "brickonium", and rock monsters.
All of these would be well integrated into the castle theme. A mountain
dwelling rock monster clan...there's possibilities there, methinks.
