Since I am not allowed to directly ask for more shields, or for silver bullet helms, I'll ask it in the form of questions about the sets already out.

2008 is looking really good! I can't wait for that advent calender.
But what I'd like to know personally is why so few shields, and why no silver bullet helms, my archer's can't pull the bowstring back because the helmet brim is in the way!

Thanks for listening, and thanks for the great sets!!!
in His grip, Chris

I may have missed it, but I was wondering if there was a reason for the black skeletons. The only reference I've encountered to black skeletons was in a story by Fritz Leiber about the god's of Lankhmar (spelling?) and was wondering if a designer was at all influenced by that.

Is there any chance the designers would give us a talk on the 2008 sets?

I'd be very interested in the genesis and development of the troll line, and the decision to make such tolkien esque dwarves.

It is unlikely that we will have a talk with the designers about the 2008 Castle sets. We may be able to have interviews and articles about Castle sets in the future.

Future articles are always cool.

As i think about it, discussing elves may be more interesting than trolls.

Of course because we have had some sets with the Orcs. We have had no info on the Elves other that they may exist. Elves have soo much speculation about them, they are the new item under the Christmas tree that you didn't ask for. I try to enjoy the current and past stuff now which will distract me until the new stuff(elves) appear. 8)
