Hi All,
Not sure how many are left since Classic-Castle, but I must draw your attention
to a crisis in Castle. It appears TLC has decided to bring back the Castle line
in a Bionicle-like theme.
The world is over and if this rumors proves true, I will not be buying any LEGO
sets at all until such time as TLC decides to return castle to some semblance of
its former glory.
Thats right, I am going to hit a retail dark ages and not by "Any" retail Lego
sets. I will instead either save my money or get my castle fix from another
company, thats right, for the first time in 23 years of Lego building and
collecting, I will buy the Megablocks Dragon line.
I will not scrap my collection or anything crazy, but my thousands of dollars in
retail spending just walked out the door, I will no longer promote Lego in my
community either, an act that I know has over the last few years netted TLC tens
of thousands of dollars. We have been begging for new castle sets and this is
what they gift us with. BAH and Double BAH.
Here is the Page that lists the new sets:

Here is a description of the new castle sets:

And below is the translated version of the German Text
Knight's Kingdom (knight) is resumed as Actionserie. 5 knights in Bionicle
design. Everyone approx. 20cm highly, 11 movable axles, altogether however
better with resources combinably (have still a few burls). The 5 different coat
of arms sign (wolf, bear, eagle, ape, scorpio) is above all interesting, which
make themselves certainly in each system castle good as Wandbehang.
Tremble with fear at how far TLC is off the mark, I have been involved with
several public showing of my castle creation and the kids always ask how they
can get parts to build "real" castles. I guess my response from now on will be
no where, wait a few years and maybe we will see castles sold at retail again.
This is the most disapointed I have been in TLC in 23 Years.

| (...) William, I think that all of this worrying is not good. I highly doubt that LEGO would replace one of its great themes with Bionicle. It is probably just a new type of Bionicle set. Bionicle will not replace Castle, Town, etc. I think it is a (...) (21 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)

| If they make medieval Bionicle sets in ADDITION to normal castle sets, then that's OK. However, if medieval Bionicle is all that they're going to give us, then I also am very disappointed. (21 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)
