(...) That's fascinating! Just out of curiosity, how did you discover this? I agree with you that this Castle system was a gem. I remember well the first time that I saw the sets - in a Target store in 1984, I believe. My jaw just dropped...they (...) (25 years ago, 23-May-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) IMO, the newer visors are too large and disproportionate to the minifig's body. I think it makes the knight look a little bit comical. I'd be completely satisfied if TLC brought back the original helmet/visor piece. (25 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.castle)
