Cool.
Neat speculation Jonathan. The only way I'd be super interested in a castle
pack is if it came with a ton of gray bricks and plates, and the classic foliage
parts (the flat fingery green leaf pieces). Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth it
to me sorting out castle minifigs, horses, etc to resell.
I could always find a castle person who wants to build armies and partner up for
purchasing, though...
I still don't like speculating on 'surprises,' because, people could be way off
and I don't see that its worth putting energy into blind speculation. Still,
its fun reading it :-)
