(Whoa! ... There are LOADS of castles in Wales
)
It couldn't be Steck now, but there was nothing stopping them producing the necessary angled corners to create hexagonal castles, if they hadn't dropped Steck when they did.
You're right.
It's revolting
When I first saw the King's Castle (3268), around March 2008, when I was coming back to playmobil, and had no idea of the existence of system X yet, I actually thought that one to be exactly like the older ones, because of the house in the castle. In time, as I read the talks, and paid more attention to pictures, then I realized it wasn't.
Indeed they could have made hexagonal steck.
Then we come to the vain talk of the reasons why they changed to system X, and opinions ...
As I look at the klickys, they have changed for better, I think. I think system X is good for modern houses too. The only thing that still holds me to steck as a personal preference are the timbered houses, that I hope they don't put away ...
