I wouldn't want to appear greedy now would I?;)

You're right anyway, no, I wasn't that good.

Just out of curiosity, a dark grey or a light gray? I could see many uses for the light gray, use it with Dumbeledoor's beard and put it on peeves, you got yourself a cool Cerlin statue.

I'd have to say....light grey. I'm really not a huge fan of the new dark grey. Come to think of it, I never really liked the old dark grey either.

A few months ago I would have said either or both even but not now.

Same here, except I use a harpoon instead of the wand. I believe I borrowed the design from Mr. Sava.
While I would probably use a wizard's staff if they made one, I don't need them to. There are plenty of other things that I would love to see made first.
For example, I'd like to see a better variety in hair pieces. Sure, for guys we have the classic hair, the spikes (in limited colors), the wavy hair (also in limited colors), the uni-sex long hair, and the very long hair (only in one color), but I'd still like a little more variety. A minifig-scale version of the Jack Stone hair would be sweet, and in black it would be perfect for my sigfig. I'd even like to see the existing hair pieces in more colors.

Yeah ask for something like a new Castle line or maybe add generic soldiers that has each of the KK2 knight's heraldy. I mean if Vladek has his Shadow knights, what about the other guys?

I'm much more concerned about continually updating my existing figs with improved accessories, as opposed to adding more troops. I go for quality over quantity ('quality' really isn't the best word, but hopefully you get the picture).

A new Castle line that has generic troops would be adding quality back into the Castle line as opposed to the "accepting whats available" and "working with what we've got" that we are now doing with KK2. New lines do come with new accessories, Im just hoping that the next Castle line will have better ones than KK2.

[analogy] I mean I feel like we're searching for scaps/crumbs of food in the floor instead of being given the finest dish from LEGO's kitchen. [/analogy]

So perhaps if we ask, we may receive.
