(Sorry about the empty post - my computer's been behaving very badly -
constantly freezing up, you know the routine)
Thanks for the imput, Jimmy!
At the very least it was nice to have a shot at some of those
out-of-production sets. It's also great to hear that TLC hasn't forgotten
about castle with all the excitement over Harry Potter! A new accessory
pack would be excellent, and with your imput, I hope they consider doing new
runs of classic pieces such as the full-armor piece, or perhaps design an
all-new shield emblem to go along with the ones from the KK.
Thanks again, and I'm looking forward to our July surprise, you big tease!
