I could be wrong, but I don't think it's okay to hijack any thread you want with
color complaints. No message is that important. That just seems like simple
posting etiquette.
What is the point of starting a thread to discuss a topic if the replies can be
on any subject under the sun? If people are going to do that, we may as well
just have monkeys banging on keyboards. The purpose of having a threaded
newsgroup is to make it easier for people to read about topics they are
interested in and skip the ones they aren't.
Jake started two threads. One for discussing the color issues, and one for
discussing the castle sets. Don't you think the the color complaints would be
more effective in the proper thread? If I was going to post opinions about the
replacement colors, I know I would want to post in a thread where people are
actually discussing the issue instead of creating noise in unrelated threads.

The new Castle sets are going to have Belville style figures with bat-wing
helmets and trans-orange flames in their mouths. There is going to be a new
catapult with spiked wheels like on the WarCraft computer games. There will also
be new elf minifigs that work in a medieval bakery and make cookies. There will
be two large castles, one for each of the two main factions. When you put the
flag of one faction onto the roof of the other faction's keep, it will play "O
Fortuna" from a little speaker under the drawbridge.

Maybe it should not happen, but it most certainly could.

I'm not telling anybody how to feel. It's okay to feel offended, betrayed, and
unable to get over it.
... but it's still off topic.
I could tell you how I feel about the color changes, but that would be off
topic. I could tell you that they've changed a basic color like Red in the past,
but that would be off topic too. I could tell you that Ancestral Recall is a
powerful blue instant in Magic: the Gathering, but I would still be off topic.
In fact, this whole message is off topic.
Now, to try getting back on topic:
I'm looking forward to the 2004 Castle Products. If they are well designed and
priced fairly for their quality, I will buy them. If I don't think they are
worth my money, I won't buy them. I can't really say anything else until I have
more information, but that O Fortuna thing sounds pretty cool.
