Well, don't lots of the Alpha Team things look like spaceships?
At Brickfest 2001, Brad Justus said that no themes were "dead" in the sense
that they would never conceivably return. (If all of a sudden the middle
ages become really cool with kids through some disney movie or something,
and Lego think that a castle line would sell well, they will be sure to take
advantage of that market.)
Of more immediate significance to us castle heads though, he said something
to the effect that we should not expect any castle stuff while they are
making HP sets. He hinted that there might be future classic/legends castle
sets, but probably not an actual castle for a good while.
Too bad they aren't doing a LotR theme.
sigh...
