I’ll add my voice in with Frank and Mike on this one. The bulk tubs in the new
color (as some suggest, maybe even with Castle-specific parts) would be an
excellent way to get the new colors into circulation. Maybe as a S@H exclusive
or something. I’m not a castle builder, but I wouldn’t turn down all the nifty
castle pieces if I got them with a bunch of other useful pieces in the same
color themes. Bulk is bulk, and bulk is good.

Yes!
The 6 packs that were done for us recently used up 6 SKUs. We’ve been told in
the past that there’s an SKU shortage. Bulk tubs use up a LOT less SKUs than
their equivalent in service packs, ne?
Run off 2 or 3 bulk tubs with a decent assortment (take the average of what
everyone asks for) of parts and the excess to one person (like Kelly’s castle
pieces, etc) will be quickly sold off to the person that needs it desperately...
You could even do a space bulk tub, heavy in greebles and plates, with a mix
that’s predominantly dark/light grey weighted, and a castle bulk tub, weighted a
bit more in the brown direction and the brick direction, and a town tub, or a
landscape tub, or whatever.
Heck I think MichLUG’s own Ken Koleda already gave you
the mockup for what a castle tub might look like!...
That should save your marketing department a few cycles...
