Ok, first of all I don't like the Montey Python visor. You can disagree, you
are entitled to your opinion, as am I. And I don't like it. I feel it's just
too big. The current crusader style visor is comically big to begin with. Any
bigger, which the Montey Python seems to be to me, and it's just ridiculous.
Go ahead and flame me for my different opinion, I'm wearing my asbestos
underoos.
Secondly, on the website it reads,
"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. "
This translates in my mind (and I'm not alone in my interpretation, Troy backs
me up on this one) to that the old space helm part of the helm will be replaced
with the new helm base found on the crusader helm. The visor, based on this
interpretation, would only be refitted to accommodate the larger helm base.
This would mean that there wouldn't be some new fangled mystery helm released
with the set, but rather the same knights with slightly bigger visors and
helm bases.
And it would be a good thing too. I own 6 of these older helms, and those
visors pop off at will. A larger, stronger visor made from the new ABS would
be a WONDERFUL addition.

You and me both.

| 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)
