Note that if the winner was chosen by balancing the various questions
that they might not know the complete order since they may have only
used the other factors for the two top contenders or something).
It may be best though not to release the order at all. It will just give
something for people to whine about. I could make some guesses as to how
and why the voting fell:
- With two castle sets, the castle vote was certainly diluted (though
"other factors" could have led them to chose one of the castle sets if
there was a clear preference for a castle set). My guess is that had
6074 been the only castle choice it would have won (though my first
choice was 6075).
- The Battrax probably doesn't have as wide an appeal as another Space
set has. In my opinion, this offering hurt the chance to see a Space
set.
- While we have seen a re-release of a Pirate Ship, of all the
offerings, a Pirate Ship is the only thing which can't easily be made
from parts of many other sets (in that it depends on the cloth sails for
sure, and the hull pieces don't hurt either).
- Two town sets were released earlier this year.
I hope that we will actually see all of these sets (or at least all that
received a good showing, I wouldn't cry if the Battrax never made it,
there are other Space sets I'd much rather see).
