A set of figures to include George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and Benjamin Franklin would have sold very well.
I think I suggested this very idea a few years ago on this august forum. Such an easy win for PM...unfortunately I think they're abandoning the US as a market, so there's little motivation for any such effort on their part.
A Lincoln figure for the never-to-return American Civil War theme was another missed opportunity.

I think they're more responsive than active...
But I must admit I've thought about some obvious museum collaborations, and at least now if you contact them you have a obvious place to point them to (rather than 'I think this would sell, contact the local head-office and hope for the best')

They seem to have been coming thick-and-fast recently, but I guess this might make it easier to suggest projects if they have a direct contact available.

It's a smaller version of the 4866 Red Falcon castle, which was already the smaller castle of that batch opposed to the Yellow Lion castle.
It's using the same parts for the castle, save for the sticking out parts this one has on the walls on both sides of the gate. It does have notably less wall pieces and the part with the roof is also clearly smaller.
Also no forge, one less clicky, no horse, no furniture, less weapons... It's just a big downgrade. They would have been better off simply reissuing the 4866 castle really.

Maybe they'll show up as an add-on pack?
I like the 2 knights, especially the red and blue one (well, I agree that the figures are the weakest link in those sets).
I'm not generally keen on the fantasy stuff, so I don't like the Dragon Tower (and if we were going to have a re-issue I'd have preferred to see 3269 ).
Is the main castle new? It lacks something - if they wanted to make it smaller for either cost or space concerns, I think it would be better to open up for play value

I'd have just kept them in silver armour. Maybe with small gold details painted on for the knights. Then again I don't see any soldiers with them at all.
