This question about cylinders got started over in .castle. All of my
Yellow Castles come with the type 2 cylinder (in yellow) whereas my 677/6077
Knight's Processions come with type 3 cylinders (in grey). Does anybody
have a 677/6077 to compare to? Is it possible it came with both types of
cylinder (in grey)? Moreover, can anyone confirm this? The box shows the
type 2 in grey, but none of the 677 sets I have came with the type 2
cylinder.
