Hey! Instead of doing regional-related sets, they could continue with
the movie / book tie - ins!
The _Ben Hur_ chariot races...
... _Gladiator_ gladiatorial scenes and triumphal marches ...
... _Horatio at the Bridge_ collectors' edition set ...
... _Caligula_ Imperial, er, never mind: Nix that. Terrible idea.
Although those sets would be great for populating peasant barnyard
scenes in Castle :)
