Thanks for the updates, George.
Now that we have a better view of the upcoming sets, I'm really liking the Indians, civilians, and, with some customization, the soldiers. I'll be picking up most of the Indian and civilian sets and multiple Add-Ons.
The disappointment for me are the fort and artillery sets. The fort looks cheap and Fisher-Price-like; the previous Steck and System X forts are far superior. As for the artillery set, the cannon looks disproportionate and not like any real cannon. I really wish they'd go back to the original shooting cannon and limber. It was really perfect. If they wanted to jazz it up they could make it bronze and keep the light blue and yellow paint theme. Overall, these new military sets look like they're geared toward younger children, which I guess is where the market has gone since most older children prefer video games to toys.
