It seemed to me that the Yellow Castle came out a few years after the first Classic Space. I was very much into Classic Space when I was a kid, though I did look longingly at the new Castle sets when they came out. For me there are two reasons that the Yellow Castle is a Legend. First, this is the set that started one of the all-time great themes. Second, this is pre-juniorization: all bricks, no prefabricated wall pieces. Add to that that I just love the design. Basically when I think "Legend" I think about a theme and think about what sets are the all-time best of that theme. For Castle I'd go with the two that were in the vote and also a couple of the Wolfpack and Forestmen sets. Bruce

(...) Different timing in Europe and the U.S. In the U.S., Castle was introduced first in pictures in the 6000 Idea Book in 1979. All the kids I knew stared at the Castle pictures long after we had become familiar with our Space sets and so on. (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-02, to lugnet.castle)
