(...) I wouldn't count on this, Larry. 1. The price point of the 6074 makes it extremely appealing, even to non-castleheads. Lots of people can use grey brick--especially Space, and a number of spacies don't think the Battrax is the best choice. (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Good analysis. You're prolly right. 375 would have too many compromised in it and doesn't have the curb appeal. We'll see. But as I said on our list, I almost don't care which one wins. I'll be getting multiple copies of the winner in any (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Just another view here... I think both Peter and Larry make good points. (...) My view on grey is "who cares". We have a good selection of Grey brick available in bulk as well as the "castle expander pack" for the arches. (...) But I don't (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I wonder how much they will charge, should the 375 win. All those solid bricks, plus 14 minifigs, it could get a little pricey. Maybe double the price of the New Blacksmith's Shop. The compromises you spoke of, presumably, would be one or more (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) In the survey itself, they listed the prices. On the page with descriptions before you go into the survey, they don't, and of course you can only vote once. Does anyone have the prices? Peter (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)

(...) Did you vote? Did you read the descriptions as you voted? The estimated prices for each set (in USD -AND- Euro no less) was given. I didn't think to record the prices for posterity... I remember the BSB was going to be $100 US... and I think (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Has anyone even stopped and considered that by saying 'modern-day LEGO helmets' that they weren't talking about the visored helms we castle heads are familiar with? You all MUST know that the helm base, the "HELMET" part of the visored helm is (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Huh? Are there any printed bricks in this set? The flag uses a sticker (at least mine does), as do the torso armor parts and the shields (all of mine do). There's some front tower decoration as well, right? I think that's a sticker too. (...) (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I think Aaron meant that they'd replace those stickers (from the original set) with printed bricks, not vice versa. However I would expect that not to be the case, that rather they would issue stickers. I might have guessed wrong about what (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)
