I think its a shame that Brad considers that HP _IS_ castle when there are
so many differences.

i don't agree.  i think brad believes "HP is castle" in the retail sense, but
obviously not.  thus allowing Lego Direct to release the two best castle sets
in a long time without fearing overlap in sales.  It isn't the same relation
when he says "Star Wars is space", wherein we won't see a space legend until
there isn't a possibility of overlap.

HP and the fall of the Castle line is what has allowed Lego Direct to be so
generous with specialty items (i mean, the first legend and first MOC were both
castle!). they don't have to worry about cutting into sales of a retail castle
line (that would probably be even worse than KK).
