Yes, including the holy grail 375/6075 Yellow Castle. I just don't prefer their generic emblems.
You should watch this presentation. Apparently things are more disturbing than superficial appearances.

Won't really look at prices, barely even minifigs or accessories as they are all pure gold even if there surely is worse and better pieces, or common and rare. Or some sets having whole bunch of weaponry/accessories while others not so much. Looking at designs both 6016 Knight's Arsenal and 6049 Viking Voyager has this design with tubes that I'm not a big fan of. First mentioned loses with its generic idea already, the Voyager instead being rather unique.
1974 Smuggler's Hayride doesn't look too good with those 1x8x2 bars either, but it does have a nice idea. 6030 Catapult - I like the fact that unlike many catapults that came later, it's not super tiny in size. But it could look better if some of the pieces were swapped to different ones.
