I also think the second wave with all the gray and purple sets killed a lot of interest. Both had great looking first wave sets with a wide potential of places to go, but then things get funneled into single color palette themes with sets that don't have great designs.
As for the AFOLs that think they're going to get Castle back by not supporting a semi-castle theme, lol good luck. I'm sure the same happened with Sky Pirates. We could've had a classic Pirates theme again if they bought more of that too. Instead, Lego just gets the idea that no one likes Space, Castle, or Pirates.
