The following is my personal 2 cents, and nothing else.
I am perfectly happy that lego is rereleasing old sets, and I hope they
continue to do so. For those of us who don’t either want to spend our life
savings on a misb or get a second hand set, the rereleases are wonderful.
Personally, although I think a new castle line of quality comparable to the
old would be wonderful, I would be perfectly content if they just rereleased
all the old sets en masse, refining those sets that were less than perfect
the first time around, and adding a few new sets to fill in gaps here and
there. I honestly think that TLC has pretty much done all they can do with
the castle line (and several other lines). Although there are a plethora of
other people’s mocs that I think are brilliant, few are commercially viable.
But again, if they can come up with something new and wonderful, that would
be great! It’s just that from a commercial perspective I don’t see what much
they could do.

Are you kidding me? Not much else they can do? HUH?!?! Try to have some
imagination, there’s still LOTS of possiblities with System Castle theme.
Ever thought that perhaps they could make Desert Castles and base the theme on
Arabian structures with the Sultan and his guards fighting the Desert Raiders to
protect the precious caravan trade, not to mention the good old jewels? Heck
they could add certain Adventurers elements in by having sets in Egypt with the
Sultan looking for more treasure there.
Or how about we go to the Far East and have Chinese soldiers protect their
empire from the Hordes as well as compete with a rival kingdom? They’ve done
similar things with Japan (Ninja) why not China? Perhaps protect the legendary
chrome-green sword (new piece inspired by Crouching Tiger:Hidden Dragon’s “Green
Destiny” sword) from the clutches of the Khan.
