They're a bit too goofy / colourful for me. I won't be buying very many of these... I'll just stick to the S@H exclusives instead (which I already have multiple copies of).

Here's the LUGNET thread on these new castle stuff...

They're about what I expected (although I'd hoped for better). They're not as good as the HP line, unfortunately. Some nice stuff, however. Brown burps in both sizes, new heraldry (flags, pennants, shields, barding, etc.), blue, red, light blue, green, and violet armour (??), cool window walls, and did I mention brown burps?

Anyway, I'll be getting a few of these for sure, especially the small sets like 8777 and 8778. 8780's OK as well.

Remember:... New Grays, new Brown... So all that new cool stuff will stick out of place with your classic stuff.

I saw a few of the new creator sets on shelves, and even on the pictures on the box, I can see that the new light grey looks like something between white and old light grey. And the brown looks different.

The general public probably won't catch on till later, but to the trained eye (which I'm sure you have, Robin) it will stick out!
