I'm not part of that "us". I stopped buying Lego when Dragon Masters came
out. There's nothing evil about fantasy Lego castles, but I am not
interested in fantasy Lego castles. Note that the first fourteen years of
Lego castles were non-fantasy. TLC's experiece with drawing in customers
with fantasy castle stuff lies soley in Dragon Masters and the fabulously
successful Belville Fairy Tale and Fright Knights lines.

Note that according to this message

Lego Direct no longer exists; hence LD can no longer honor any such
commitments it may have made. Whether the remaining branches of TLC have
any interest in those areas remains to be seen.
