Reading the question and answer session with Jake and Kate with the guys from Germany... it prompted me to see the latest selection for castle from Shop@Home.

I noticed something very wierd. The USA version has 10000 Guarded Inns still available, but not the 6098 Leo’s Castle. The Euro version (at least the German version) had the 6098 available for, while the Guarded Inn is sold out.

Just my opinion.
