   Ditto.  Ralph, you rock!

   Some have been, some not.  Anyways, it's worth revisiting,
   because I LIKE to drool.  *slurp*

   I wish the Froad/Tog were new, but he's not.  Also, the owl
   in 4707 may in fact be *tan*.

> New "male" hair in two colors -- black and orange.

   Woohoo!  Carrot Top will be making an appearance...muuhahaha

> Purple turban.

   I need some white ones!  White ones!  Hey, wasn't something
   in Nostradamus about a purple turbanned dude...?  ;)  (It
   was supposedly "blue," btw, if you're into that guy)

> Grey/Silver/Gold key.

   You know, considering the number and size of them, I wouldn't
   be surprised if the "keys" come on a six-element sprue/wheel like
   the tool wheels of Town Junior.

> Brown arched door with window.

   I *really* like this for prospective 17th-c.-housemaking.

> Glow-in-the-dark minihead (see 4705)? Not a new element but worth noting...

   Definitely!  I can't decide if it's the same sand green as
   the roof piece (which I can already think of uses for, btw,
   so I'm not totally grossed out) or if it's really glow in the
   dark.

> Some kind of cauldron insert (see 4705)?

   Dunno.  Hard to tell if that's airbrushing or an insert.  If
   an insert, it may be cardboard.

> Circular stairway elements.

   Yeah, they're clearer now--I can see the brickwork at the "hub."
   I still can't be sure whether they're individual step elements
   or a "staircase" complete.  They're molded separately but they
   may only "snap" in one way.

> Three-headed dog.

   The dog, btw, is a new "top" on a Dino Islands quadruped dinosaur
   leg set.

> Black beard for larger figures.

   Much as the hair doesn't come off of Creator figs, I have a feeling
   this beard is fixed on the fig in question.  If Hagrid is a true
   Creator fig, then his head won't come off anyhow (without the
   judicious application of force, of course).

> Grey rat.

   In 4705?  That almost looks white to me--look at the ltgrey on its
   level further over and the white scroll tile for comparison.  The
   dkgrey makes it hard to tell, though.

> Crummy plastic peaked roof sheets.

   Of several different sorts!

   Also:

   -8x8 corner plate (4701), brown--looks new to me.
   -What is that thing in 4707, on the hand of the purple
      wizard?  Also, is that hair on him new too?
   -2x2 low-slope peak in BROWN (4707)--not new piece, but
      new color!
   -What's that thing the hat in 4701 is sitting on?  It's
      not a "standard" crystal ball or jar--but it's stitting
      on a Freestyle 2x2 wheel hub and a dark grey 2x2 tile w/pin.
   -4L rod in brown (again, not new, but new color); the return
      of cheaply available 4-prong lantern holders in non-green!
      woohoo!  (Or should i say, "ARRRRR!"?)
   -9 3/4 sign (4708)
   -Clock tile on 4708 looks new too
   -4723 - brown rat/mouse, looks different than the other?

   Please, let's continue this speculation!
