I am curious if Lego had signed some agreement with Warner stating they
would not release any other castle lines while HP is in the workings. Lucas
made Lego do this with the space line. That's why you haven't seen anything
since UFO. Lucas mde them sign stuff stating that they would not produce or
release anything remotely looking like a space ship. I think that really
stinks, but maybe Lego got themselves in another one of these situations
with the Harry Potter line.
I will be disappointed, unless they start making legions of that knight in
the castle. I think the shield pattern rocks! Unfortunately, I don't have
one yet and can't afford to buy that set for months. So, I hope they make
more of them in smaller, cheaper sets. I really don't feel HP is really
castle line since all the mini's are wearing town type apparel. This will
surely slow down the building of the mass army...
