I guess I don't have any problem with all these castles being made (though I'm personally getting a bit burnt out), but I would like to see some other themes get produced on this scale. I prefer classic space to castle, and while TLG is producing some interesting space sets, there's nothing approaching the scale of these castles that has the classic space feel. I won't even talk about what a ludicrous miss that space CMF set is. But I do think a 3k - 4k piece classic space set would do quite well - it's just a shame the BL program is starting to boil down to castle, trains and modulars. At least, that's how it feels right now. Maybe a bit of recency bias here...

Indeed. And I'm on the bandwagon! I think the Medieval Seaside Market could serve as a nice crossover between Pirates and Castle.

Father of the year!!!

Well I’m apparently wrong as my 14 year old son who hasn’t expressed interest in Lego in a couple years wants this set. I told him it was too expensive.

I’m sensing a Bionicle Butt-Hurter right here, but he’s spot on with LEGO making a calculated play with Bricklink to satisfy us nichers without taking the risk of overproducing these niche sets for a broader audience—it’s kinda genius.

I was thinking the same thing! Trying to get Castle, Pirates, and Vikings in the same universe for an epic storyline. Then there’s the Aliens from the new Space sets that will need to make an appearance (given what we’ve gleamed from the Ancient Aliens tv show).

Will wait for actual pics to make a final judgement, but this seems like a giant swing and a miss. Seems like they tried to play homage to the space themes, but these just don't really do it for me. Definitely will get pink space baby, of course, but without any figs really going back to classic days, I'll pass on them for the most part. I like to see they continue to work with trans pieces for figures, makes me think we may get those force ghosts yet.

Very niche but they fit the bill. I love the locomotive and the boat.

Castle is having a moment.
