| Yes can be interpreted in so many ways. I think yes means: Yes, we have not forgotten about castle. Yes, we will release more castle legends. And Yes, we are working on a new castle theme which will be released some time in the future (Remember, (...) (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle)

I know that this is an old issue, but it would be nice if TLG took a role as industry leader and worked against the I-want-everything-spoon-fed-now attitude running rampant through the child-marketing industries.

I argue that they *have* in fact taken such a role: [LEGOSet 4101] Now, they still have to make money so they still may have to pander elsewhere for a while, but DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE the importance of Designer.
