Just that it's quite rare - not very many sets had it - and it hasn't been

re-appearance of the old armor as indication that LEGO can put old elements
back into circulation, if they have a need to. Offers a glimmer of hope
that we may see pitchforks and plastic capes and other "long gone" parts
again someday.

| (...) Don't get your hopes up. I've talked to the person at Lego Direct in charge of deciding what goes into sets. They generally will not introduce a piece where the molds no longer exist. She was quite clear on that point. Now that doesn't mean (...) (25 years ago, 26-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle)
