---I too am worried about Castles future!---
I don’t mind the ‘juniorization’ of Castle, as long as the Castle system
doesn’t ‘end’…
A new product line for Castle probably won’t arrive until the beginning of
2003. (If ever)
I believe that the Ninja line was the beginning of the end for castle.
The Castle line was dealt a swift blow when it was momentarily replaced by
the Ninja theme. And now (to a certain extent) Harry Potter if the finishing
strike to a long and proud line. If castle ever does comes back, it will
most likely appear once every two years or less. And should a new Castle
accessory pack arrive, it’ll arrive in the latter part of the 2003 line.
This is simply my speculation upon the bleak circumstances that have
befallen Castle.
Does anybody else see a dark future for castle?
