Hey, it’s just a start, we just can’t plan on going sub-orbital on the first
attempt. There’s far more potential in this concept…but initially I honestly
believe that to create a 375/6075 Yellow Castle in Dark Gray would be the
perfect launch in the right direction. A course that could eventually become
far more dynamic!

A great example!
We’ve all taken pre-existing sets and improved upon them…
Now, it’s TLG’s turn!
I'm sure they’ve got to the production stage of a set and ‘wished’
that they could only just go back in time and improve upon a few
key elements in strategic locations.
Now is their chance!
Optimistically,

But for the 375 castle, I would strongly recommend to make it in sandcolour tan. (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jul-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.general)

Using more realistic colours may appeal to adult builders who are after the parts, but I don't think they'd have the broad market appeal (...)
