i agree with you here. these brand new 2002 sets, although somewhat neat, leave
me feeling destitute about the future of lego castle. I mean, the first ever
lego minifig set was the yellow castle and now.. ugh, there's nothing.
except Guarded Inn and Blacksmith Shop. From a set point of view, its so
disappointing, but from a construction/pieces point of view everything is fine.
Both Blackmsith and Guarded have excellent price/piece ratios, great selection
of a wide variety of important castle building pieces (from castle wall pieces,
to blue roof pieces). When i feel sad about the downfall of castle, i have to
remind myself that two of the best sets lego is selling now are both castle.
I think the Toy Fair shows good bit, but only bits. A shield here, a cool head
there, some nifty minifigs around. some good stuff, but overall? not that much
to call the motherland about. besides, i don't feel there's too much to be
really excited about.. Galidor leaves me with an uneasy stomach.
