Just that it's quite rare - not very many sets had it - and it hasn't been
made for 15 years or so.

People have speculated that we will never see out-of-production elements
again because the molds are gone, or whatever.  I'm taking this
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.

Marc Papenfuss recently posted the #3416 Women’s team Soccer sets to the
Brickshelf Gallery. In the first image (lego_3416_back_ebay1.jpg) there
appears to be two additional sets for the Women’s Soccer supplement:

My question is this:        (And yes, it does applies to Castle!)
Are the 'yellow jerseys' that are atop a minifig the same as the #375/6075
Yellow Castles body Armor? If so, I'd buy a few paint them gray and place a
decal on!!!

Have these 'jerseys' been used before, cause this is the first time I
remember seeing them used outside the #375/6075 Yellow Castle?

Wow!  Good catch, Richard.  I'm pretty positive those are the same element.
I don't think they've ever been used except in the Yellow Castle.

Cool... so either the mold for this part still existed (and was still usable
after 20+ years), or LEGO *can* remake old molds.  There's hope for the
pitchfork yet...

(...) 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 (...) (23 years ago, 26-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle)
