Is certain steck still available from DS?
« on: April 06, 2010, 09:10:59 »
As many of you know I am trying to build my own castle, but have come across some steck pieces that I need in quite large quantities that are impossible to buy on ebay.

I am in need of 5x floor 2x2 units
http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30 03 9800

and around 10x 2 units open frame
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-07-6780

I am also in need of timber house roof parts. Are these all still available because of the timber house that DS are selling or am I stuck.

1 last question - do floor gap fillers exist that are 1 unit long for the 1 unit floor board that usually goes in the square tower, or would I have to cut a regular 2 units filler in half ???

Thanks
Damo :)

Both parts should be available as they are in current sets.

Sorry to tell you, but in this case you would have to cut one 2-unit-filler into pieces.
At least I am not aware that there has been ever a 1-unit-filler...  :(

Thanks Socrates :)9
At least now I can cut in confidence knowing that there isn't a genuine steck part :)

You could use 2 half filler peices together instead of cutting at all.

I am glad you can order your peices Flatcat!
I too am trying to build up a castle, but US DS hardly has any pieces,
Especially not steck pieces... I have asked.
So I would try another DS if you live in the US.
If you dont, and are already ordering from another DS, lucky you! :)9

Which reminds me... (I hope I am not getting too off topic...)
What are the phone numbers for the Canadian DS, or the England DS... ???
If you have the emails that would be even better!
Steck is BACK! <:>

Sorry, perhaps I got confused...
I thought you were trying to fill in the gaps between these pieces:
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-02-8480

But you could use these fillers:
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-02-9150

Instead of cutting these fillers:
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-02-8470

But the pieces I suggest are only half the width of the 30 02 8480 pieces,
So you could use two...
Am I right, or just completely lost? ??? :-[

No, you are right WoT - your idea to use two small one is great but I only have a 5 to last the whole castle and I would need four of these. I have plenty of the 1x2 unit fillers so I will just cut one of them in half >:D
