Well, I'm not sure that this means that it's only the S@H dept. that's doing
this, although it could be. My guess is that it's one of three things:
- Accessory pack w/ Kinghts' Kingdom equipment
- Bulk ordering for castle parts
- Something along the lines of the custom train-- a custom colored castle
guard house or something
A traditional accessory pack? Yeah, that'd be ok. I'd buy a few. Nothing
spectacular though, unless they include something like the 'old school' body
armor or something. If nothing else it'd be a good place to get some more
stock in the Knight's shields since they don't quite have enough for each
fig to carry one (unless you pick up a superflous amount of Royal Jousts)
Bulk ordering for castle parts? COULD be really cool. 1x5x6 Castle walls?
Eh. [shrug]. I can live without more. But that's definitely something that I
could see TLC offering. But what I *want* is something similar to the arch pack:
- 1x3x1 arch
- 1x4x1 arch
- 1x6x1 arch
- 1x6x2 arch
- 1x8x2 arch
- 1x5x3 arch
- 1x5x3 INVERSE arch!
- 1x12x3 arch
- 3x3 octagonal corner wall sections
- brown curved top doors (small size)
- black(brown!) flat-topped doors with vertical beams
- 1x2x2.5 round topped window
And of course ultimately I'd LOVE these to be offered in grey, dk. grey,
tan, and *white*. Black? Eh. I can easily live without black. The rest of my
castles can pretty much be built with the existing grey bricks bulk
packages. The only thing left being grey plates :) But hey, who isn't
already hoping for those?
As for the custom-colored set idea? I guess that'd be cool. If it's as good
of a design as the train design is, you can rest doubly assured that I'll be
picking these up!
