reference: http://www.fbtb.net has a copy of the 2002 brochure.
note: there is NO mention of anything castle, knights kingsdom or otherwise.. i
think this mean discontinued.. but my real question is why? because of hp, or
new castle for later 2002? (somehow i think hp is what's behind it)
also of note:
*pictures of the ewoks, using the chewbacca style minifig.
*another hp set using something that looks like a troll or something (hagrid
style- special molded body and minifig head).
i was never a big fan of kk, actually i hated it.. but there was something
reassuring about lego continuing to sell castle sets, and now it seems castle
has gone the way of pirates.. never to return!
this really kinda bothers me.
peace
