The current 3-in1 medieval castle is retiring this year, and LEGO in the past has brought in new sets that are very similar to retired sets (especially in the creator and city themes), because kids are constantly aging into the LEGO hobby, and LEGO is not going to keep the same set on the shelves for years on end, at least not an unlicensed set. This new 3-in-1 castle set is marketed for ages 9+ so it is not supposed to be a set geared towards AFOLs, and I think expectations should be adjusted. Just my two cents.
Well I don't know if I'm speaking for the crowd but I'm relieved that they're finally rolling out something that isn't explicitly adult-oriented. It's a whimsical hobby and the endless parade of hulking masterpieces sorta sucks the joy out of it. Like we know the designers can make an incredibly detailed $1000 Death Star, but do they really need to?
You covered all the angles on this one, sir. I kind of hope it’s not like the one in the background of the dragon set, but it could be, and if it were, I’m sure there will be plenty to like about it.

I think so too, they did a great job with the 2021 set and I have high expectations for this one. Thanks for watching, Blake!
