Yeah, I would much rather have a LotR theme, but there are descent enough
castle elements in HP.  speaking of which, I'm trying to build a Hagrid army
if anyone wants to help!

So what do people think of the new 2002 sets?  Personally, I think the new
Alpha Team sets look terrible.  Why in the world did they put them
underwater?  Last I checked, Aquazone wasn't the biggest hit.

I do really like the new soccer sets--most specifically, the new red
uniforms and corresponding faces.  Some of the Star Wars sets look OK,
although the e-woks don't seem quite as cool as they could have been.  I am
happy to see some smaller HP sets (to build up the Slytherins), but I must
say, the troll looks pathetic!

Any other opinions?

(...) i think someone at lego has an underwater fetish.. and someone else has an axe fetish... i think sometime in the future we'll see underwater raiders who use axes only (25 years ago, 31-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.harrypotter)

(...) Have you seen the Goblins in 4714? (...) Umm, I think you'll find that it was a very good seller.
