Hello! The 6067 "Guarded Inn" is my all time favourite LEGO® set. The first glance at the picture in the 1986 catalogue was the initial spark of this love... And I was lucky to get it as a birthay present the same year. The Guarded Inn is a legend. (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle) !

Hello, I'm consurring with Jojo's opinion but want to add 2 further cents. In Germany, specific in the Forum at 1000steine.de, there were much more criticism of the new "Legends-Line". Many "collectors" are annoyed, because TLC slapped them in the (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

you have to realise that most of the AFOL don't want a collectors market. It drives the price up and encourages speculation on prices. Yes it'd be pretty cool to see a revised or modified inn to add to the collection, and of course LEGO are doing it (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) LEGO is not a collector's item, like Beanie Babies or Elvis commemorative plates. It is a toy, meant to be played with, not sitting MISB in someone's closet accumulating value. Anything that LEGO does to make a great set more available is an (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

Hello James, (...) That's right, but wouldn't it be nice if TLC would sell castle sets LIKE the Guarded Inn and not THE Guarded Inn? TLC renews the Legends-Sets because the sets are "leading in design" - if so, why not creating new sets by tradition (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Forward the pics to TLC, maybe they'll release more tan bricks, maybe they'll be moved to offer Mid Eastern castles. George (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

OK I wont argue. I would *love* new sets along the design and concepts of the Guarded Inn. Yes new sets of a modular design and in keeping with the feel of the mid - late 80's sets is what I dream of. But IF sales of this set exceed TLC's (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Blah. I couldn't care less if collectors are annoyed. The new sets won't harm the collectability of old MISB sets. It will only harm the ability of "collectors" to get the red tudor parts and sell them for obscene amounts of money. Pardon me (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I beg to differ who they are targeting with this release. If they were targeting children, then it would be distributed to the retail stores. The fact that they are only selling on S@H is evidence enough of who there target really is. Besides, (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)
