Well, 1 thing is sure we will NEVER see "year of Castle". Those will be only CITY subthemes. (Space and F1).

I really hope LEGO continues this 2 in 1 / 3 in 1 concept upcoming IN-HOUSE themes. Children should build more and same with us. MAYBE lego has gone too difficult.

Sir?

I think LEGO puts EXTRA effort for SW and HP.

Well some say that Creator is NEW Castle theme. Also Pirates and even Space.

I actually MOCed a bit my LKC yesterday. It is too pale grey, walls and towers so I make some details with dark grey and sand green. It changes overall look a lot.

It looks like a real CASTLE tower. More effort goes HP than for example Icons / Ideas / Creator Castles. Also amazing 3-head dog mold.

Harry Potter = Castle

I think this TOPIC is actually very important. We have almost half of the themes GAME-THEMES. That means that TLG is lacking imagination.

Maybe we should then make some statistics here? I collect and MOC: - Dreamzzz... (fantasy & sci-fi) - Castle (fantasy) - Space (sci-fi)

Dreamzzz is evolving. Those summer sets 2025 are promising: - Shark Submarine - Paint Truck

The whole POINT of this topic is to argue that LICENSED themes are actually killing LEGO. We see more and more licenses and same time IN-HOUSE themes are discontinued. Now this is turning against TLG. Starting from SW theme. Decline of SW. Sets are not selling so well anymore. Also SW reputation is almost crushed by Disney.

So you are saying this option is not aloud here? Critics against over priced SW theme. The GREY theme. AND now even somebody is saying that SW is good for CASTLE theme.

Yes. I use Nightmare King in my Castle universe. And actually all fantasy characters with white / pink head. Lion Knights, Black Falcons and Nightmare -factions.

LEGO has really put effort into this theme. Franchise Reboot + new movie coming. Scarlett Johansson.
