Dear Lego,

I posted this to this site in hopes that a plan similar to this was in the
works.  I know and have read about a lot of interest in a reissue of classic
castles.  I thought that lego would concider it if they could jazz up the
products a little.

Also while I have your attention, please do not offer sets in one part of the
world and not the other.  It is a real pain trying to get promotional sets
from Shell in Europe or a candy company in Japan.  Private dealers make all
the money and I have to have these sets so ...

Everyone knows the man who dies with the most toys wins.

very respectfully,
herko

Hello Castle Lovers,

I have pondered this one for some time and was hoping to visit Enfield this
Spring but my plans are falling apart.

A reissue of classic castles based on the Robin Hood Legend.

Key charactors

1.  King Richard - the king figure in set 2586 the free-be in the chess set
Shield or ensign is old lion

2.  Prince John - blue torso with scales blue legs cowardly face with crown
and septer and blue and black cape

3.  Sherrif of Nottingham - Black Falcon figure with evil bearded face and
cape hair and no helmet.  Shield or ensign is Black Falcon

4.  Robin Hood - One of the newer Dark forest figures cape quiver of arrows
and hair not hat.

The sets in subsets

King Richard (KR)

6044 - Kings Carriage -- new KR figure in standard set.  Add two mounted red
and white colored Knights with chest armor and flip down nose guard.  One can
be all white ( torso, hands, legs and helmet - with grey flip down guard) and
one decked in red or combination of colors.

6080 - Knigs Castle -- do not change castle just replaces old mounted knights
with KR and mounted guards

Prince John and Sherrif (PJ & SN)

6011 - PJ's treasure -- no changes for Robin to capture

6035 - Sherrif and guard -- replace old mounted knight with sherrif

6021 - Mounted dual -- Loyalist duels with PJ's guard

6073 or 6074 - Sherrif's Castle -- Peplace old mounted knights with PJ and SN

Robin Hood (RH)

1974 - smugglers Hayride -- no changes

6071 - Ambush -- add RH figure change baseplate from river to road.  add a
mark for merrymen to capture.

6077 - River Fortress -- add RH figure.

Town of Nottingham.

6067 - Guarded Inn -- no changes

6041 - Armor Shop -- no changes

6040 - Blacksmith Shop -- no changes

6010 - Merchant Wagon(Supply Wagon) -- no changes

New sets

Heros
KR on horse, RH on Horse, king's footman and a merryman.

Maybe I am way offbase, but I have seen enough interest in a reissue.  Fancy
new boxes same old beloved figures and sets.

very respectfully,
herko
