Well said, Will. Although I don't spend as much as you (maybe 50% of your
spending amounts), I agree with you on all points. I'll buy the sets with the
original colours, but once they're gone, no more retail purchases for me. The
upcoming castle sets don't interest me at all.
Another former loyal customer,
