Ah, so all we really have to consider is what Castle sets (or elements) meet
this criteria -- the one about the molds being available. I am going to take
another stab at guessing about this by suggesting that the July Surprise is
a re-release of either Guarded Inn, Maiden's Cart, or of the maiden hat
element itself in multiple colors thanks to its inclusion in 6091/6098 King
Leo's Castle. A close look at:
http://members.aol.com/blueofnoon/lego/gi/givariant.html or:
http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/6000/6067/
will reveal that almost all of the elements, and therefore the molds, of
Guarded Inn are currently available (with the possible exception of the 2
high shutter). The only issue then are the printed elements, which I assume
is but a small matter. And it's pretty much the same story for Maiden's
Cart which you can see at: http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/6000/6023/
Someone else probably already guessed the same thing, I just didn't feel
like rereading the thread...but the main thing is that whatever the July
Surprise is, it probably meets the stated criteria laid out by Brad Justus.

I haven't seen new sets with 80s style castle walls (straight or corner) since Fright Knights (1997), and I thought the grille helmet and one-clip saddle were discontinued a long time ago.

| I for one have been a bit disappointed that Lego seems to be more interested in the train fans than castle (even though I am 9v train complete). So I've been in contact with Lego about what they could do to please castle fans. I can't reveal much (...) (23 years ago, 3-May-01, to lugnet.castle)
