Which, when you think about it, isn't very realistic. How many European castles
are white? How many LEGO castles are? Besides, as long as both greys are still
perma-changed, I'm not sure how popular grey castles would be with AFOLs right
now.

Hm, I think the latter might be the case.

I apologize for jumping on your case about that. My experience with comments
like yours has been largely of the "this isn't what I'd buy = they made a bad
business decision" variety.

Like I said, though, give it time to breathe and see what develops in the next
few years.

Do the hulls use the same pieces as the minifig versions? If not, I'm sure the
ships themselves will be quite welcome by hardcore Pirate fans (and that red
scorpion would make a nice boiled fleebnork...), though the pirates themselves
will likely be tossed in some dark, dank basement corner. If they use the same
hull pieces in the same colors, then yeah, they probably aren't likely to see a
huge popularity amongst Pirate AFOLs.
