Hello!

So, being one of those people I apologise.

If it was an illogically is a different point. I think from what has happened to the Castle line for the last year and the Pirates line for several years now let room for demoralising thoughts...


   Hey, it’s one of our core, classic themes - do you think we’re just going to trash it?

Well, the original Knights’ Kingdom line nowadays consists of King Leo’s Castle 6091/6098 only, not a single new set in the whole year 2003, not even a new legend. So what were we supposed to think when we saw this new “Knights’ Kingdom” sets? As LEGO drifts more and more away from minifig scale (Pirates will be Jack-Stone-based, Hockey is - sorry, Bionicle-heads - bionicle-ised, the models from the Designer Sets - as great as they are - are not minifig-compatible) it simply seemed to be logically consistent that those Knights’ Kingdom constructible action figures were meant to replace the minifig knights. Well, it seemed (as it seems).



   Brad says that he sticks to his statement that next year should be a banner year for Castle-heads. And that’s all we’re going to (or can) say about that - for now.

Fine. I’m at ease again :-) And I really don’t want any further hints on upcoming releases. I can live perfectly fine without the knowledge of what will be in the future... No more rumours... Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.


Bye
Jojo

What a boost in Castle traffic in the last week! There has been quite a bit of discussion about how system castle is about to be completely and forever replaced by a Castle/Bionicle combo. This info has been gathered (or created) based on leaks, (...) (21 years ago, 24-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX) !!
