This is interesting for a couple of reasons -
1. It shows that Lego Direct is continuing to explore creative new ways of
selling the brick.
2. This may, hopefully, be the tip of the iceberg for the promised "create
your own set" method of selling.
3. The price point is right on. Recent re-releases from LD have been priced
right as well. (the new train cars come to mind)
This shows that LD can keep costs reasonable on their own issued sets . (I
have not bought at retail price in years.)
4. LD is publicly tipping their hat to the fantastic builders in the AFOL
community.
5. This, along with the re-released Guarded Inn, will truly drag me back
into the Castle theme. I have been a train/town only since I started
purchasing Lego again in 1999.
Like others in the group, I do hope to read more about the process used for
selecting Dan's model as well as what this says about future products from
LD.
What a nice Christmas present for both Dan and all Lego builders.
