Somewhat, I guess.  A lot of castles were built with sandstone, and while tan is
the closest match, it wasn't introduced until 1997, IIRC, which would put it
just a bit too late to be used in any of the European-style Castle sets.  Yellow
was the closest match available...assuming they were going for the sandstone
look.

I wouldn't mind a castle in one of the "sand" colors.

Ah, a sandcastle!  ;P  Yeah, actually some of the sand colors (most notably tan
and sand red) are much more appropriate for many of the Western European
castles.

Or even a properly done white-washed castle.

White castle walls weren't always the result of white-wash or paint, were they?

As we said in the computer gaming industry: MOTS (More Of The Same).

Oh, that's a gimme, especially since they probably already have 2005 KK sets in
the development process.  But that doesn't mean they can't introduce a different
Castle sub-theme in the next few years.  Besides, as with BIONICLE, they'll
probably have to either update the five main characters, or add new ones in
subsequent years to help keep the story going.

I'm sure we'll have a new shield template for making stickers as soon as
possible.

I keep forgetting about the new tower shield...
