I agree with you. Although I never bought any castle sets (I'm sad for

Besides that, it's the juniorisation thing, but it has been disscussed
1000+ time so I won't start another disscussion again.
My dream would be if LEGO suddenly started making sets the way they used
to -imagine the feeling of walking into your toystore, and find the LEGO
shelves crammed full of new Classic Space-spaceships!

| I've noticed some disturbing trends. 1. Theme logos are no longer used- the old Castle flag, the red & white TOWN roadsign, the word SPACE in white against a starry background. Very familiar logos I'd like to see brought back. Now we just have (...) (24 years ago, 3-Oct-00, to lugnet.general) !
