Yeah, it’s like they took 6090 and 6091/6098 and built some kind of combo castle with them. Comparing them is like saying that 6062 is a re-release of 6061. Same general idea, same general design, but made to be prettier and be more action-packed.

I admit it *looks* nicer than the original 6090 or 6091/6098, but it looks way too POOP-y to me. At least the piece count’s not as atrocious as 6091/6098. Hopefully it’s not as bad as I fear, but a re-release of 6080 would’ve been far more welcome! Hm. Is there anything stopping them from doing a 6080 re-release? Looks like everything iffy was last released as of 2002 or later. Guess it must be too complicated of a build for the target castle audience.
