(...) Castle= Harry Potter Everything else is just parts for castle (or so I've heard) (23 years ago, 4-Aug-01, to lugnet.year.2002)

(...) I wish I could tell you this isn't true, but I believe this to be the case. No true castle that I could ascertain. There were some new sets dealing with some type of monster theme (like vampires, werewolves, etc) They even had a werewolf head (...) (23 years ago, 4-Aug-01, to lugnet.year.2002)

(...) Geez, replying to my own post...this is bad, but I needed to revisit this with some thoughts. Yeah, I agree, Harry Potter is a poor substitute for a true castle theme. Also, Star Wars is a poor substitute for a true Space line (although I (...) (23 years ago, 4-Aug-01, to lugnet.year.2002)

(...) Hmm, but if you were to go on the asumption that kids these days jsut aren't into building, and that today's industry is based on hype and advertising, what about the fact that there are no television commercials for Lego anymore? Surely you (...) (23 years ago, 4-Aug-01, to lugnet.year.2002)
 
  Re: Top Secret 2002 releases from Anonymous Source
 
(...) FTR, Brad mentioned (at Brickfest) that Castle sets could not be released as long as Lego has the Harry Potter License, just as Space cannot be released as long as they have the Star Wars License (and yes, that means no Classic or Legends).

(...) What? I know he mentioned it with SW, but I don't remember him saying it abotu Castle, I thought people were merely speculating that. (23 years ago, 4-Aug-01, to lugnet.year.2002)

(...) I'm pretty sure he said it, because I remember being very unhappy about it. Jeff (23 years ago, 4-Aug-01, to lugnet.year.2002)
 
  Re: Top Secret 2002 releases from Anonymous Source
 
He did state that while LEGO has HP they will not be releasing castle, same as with SW, but I do not think that that precludes re-releasing old established sets in the Legend and Classic lines -- Overkill is the only sure kill. SR "Jeff Stembel" (...) (23 years ago, 5-Aug-01, to lugnet.year.2002)

(...) I just thought of something very odd. Star Wars = No Space Harry Potter = No Castle Jurassic Park 3= New Non-JP Dinosaurs introduced ???????? (23 years ago, 5-Aug-01, to lugnet.year.2002)
 
  Re: Top Secret 2002 releases from Anonymous Source
 
(...) We've already had a lot of non-JP3 dinos be released, such as Styracosaurus and Iguanodon, and the non-dinosaurs Mososaurus and Dimetrodon. :) Jeff (23 years ago, 5-Aug-01, to lugnet.year.2002)

  Re: Top Secret 2002 releases from Anonymous Source
 
(...) Again, for those who have just joined us...: LoM is *not* considered Space any more than Aquazone (or Spaceport, which LoM replaces) was. If anything (shudder, shake, sputter) it's considered part of Town--phylogenically, but definitely NOT in (...) (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.year.2002)

(...) same (...) as (...) My impression was that they won't be releasing castle and Harry Potter at the same time was not a licensing issue, but an issue that they only want to support one theme in a general type, and since Harry Potter heavily (...) (23 years ago, 20-Aug-01, to lugnet.year.2002)

(...) Woot! sig immortality! :^) Of course at this point all Harry Potter is, is that it's also just parts for castle. I personally don't consider HP part of Castle , Ninja was HP is NOT, YMMV. It just has yummy castle pieces :^) Mike (23 years ago, 12-Nov-01, to lugnet.year.2002)
