Actually, guarded inn is a re-release, and blacksmith shop is a new (Lego)
release that was designed by a non-lego designer (master builder)....

(which proves that lego should be more widely available and less expensive!!!)

I don't think Lego will put out anything "new" as far as a line goes.
I think they are "stuck" with the HP license for at least 2 years.
But, the good news is that "classic", "legend", and "my own creation" could
see a good number of sets now, and in the next few years ahead.
As far as "purists" go, I think it will be even better than we can hope for.

Personally, I didn't see Blacksmith shop coming.....

Let's hope Legends gets the Yellow Castle, and King's Castle.
Classic reintroduction, 6060 Knight's Tournament, and 6081?? (King's
Mountain Fortress), and maybe a decision to put King Leo back into
production....and a few thousand more defense archers...for good figs and
lots of luscious weapons....ummm...yum!!!

(and agree to pray for Jack Stone's Ultimate Demise!!!!)
