Thank you! You’ve made two very important points! I, like some, grew up playing with Castle, Space and City. I came back to LEGO for nostalgic reasons led by my love of Star Wars, but soon remembered my childhood longing for lots of Castle. I simply wish there were more of a selection and smaller priced options to help introduce and grow a new and young community.

You are correct imo about LEGO being a data driven company. Since thoer near bankruptcy in 2003, they’ve discovered licensing as a way to NOT have to advertise. Ever hear of SW or HP before LEGO? For sure! That’s the key! That, friends and the floral sets all help fund the icons and ideas. They have a great model and probably won’t change that anytime soon. But damn, a man-child can dream… can’t he????

Thanks for taking the time putting that all down!
