It's still around, so fear not! The LEGO Outlet in Potomac Mills Mall
in VA just recently got a new batch in (bought one this past weekend,
and it was the first one I had seen since I started looking back in
December). What I was told is that TLC sorta under-estimated the
demand for most of the larger sets for the christmas season, so
there was a shortage. :)
I too am hoping that TLC will continue to expand the castle line. So
far I've seen no evidence of any change this year... nothing discontinued,
but nothing new either.

| (...) Call me paranoid, I guess. But I'm not sure that seeing it come into the outlet is necessarily a good sign, unless it's there at regular retail price. outlet == overstocks we want to get rid of. Or at least it used to long long ago... ++Lar (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

| In my area, all the local Wal Marts have/had this set CLEARANCED for $60 after New Years.... take that to mean what you will, but the only other clearanced sets are Star Wars Y Wing/TIE and the big Bulls set (forget the name and #). (24 years ago, 3-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)
