Hard to say... you are measuring it to a very demanding scale... Pirates and
Castle (and Space) are the most popular themes LEGO has produced; it's a hard
act to follow.
I liked western - some good sets for parting out(1), and decent playability
(IMHO). It just never took off. My personal opinion is that cowboys and
indians just aren't "cool" for kids to play with any more - LEGO missed the
boat on timing.
