I'm thinkin’ that Castle-heads are in a real bind! Although I find the 6074 (Black Falcon's Fortress) (URL) be the superior Castle model I'm still gonna vote for the classic 6075 (Yellow Castle) (URL) Why you ask? ¯¯¯...¯¯¯ -Well the original does (...)

Has anyone from Lego said what the new helmet for 6075 would be? I've browsed through what Jake said but didn't see anything. The only attraction to the 6075 castle for me is the minifigs and gear. If they will not have the same helmets and other (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

Yes, I read it "If the Yellow Castle becomes a LEGO Legend and is reissued, the knights' helmet and visor would be a little different from the original, updated to be the same shapes as modern-day LEGO helmets." What I'm confused about is where is (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I agree with you. The rerelease of 375 will probably have standard pointy visored knight helmets. But it would be cool to have a red and a white one of those! Plus the armor is cool, and the description doesn't say anything about changing (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

I think it’s a guarantee that the Castle ‘helmets’ will be of the current design. (URL) Hop-Frog’s logical statement about the condition of the classic style reinforced-chin strap. (URL) which I agree, I think TLG just changed the helmets to the (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)
