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 found all over the lego community, in Town, Space, even technic (though
in a much larger size). So could they not possibly per chance just slightly
mean by modern day lego helmets they mean these helmet parts and NOT the visor?
.castle seems to be so quick to assume helm means visor-helm combo.
As an owner of the old helms, I know these things to be fact.
The old yellow castle helms had two pieces. A visor, consisting of thin
plastic and a 'T' shaped hole. And a helmet, now commonly referred to as the
'classic space helmet'

Is a modern day LEGO helmet with a visor.
Could they replace the helms we know from the yellow castle with the modern
visor? Sure. But from the evidence I see, not bloody likely. From the
evidence I see, the chances are that LEGO, if 375 is rereleased, will modify
the existing yellow castle visor design to fit the modern day LEGO helmet.
And thats my two bricks.
