(...) Wow, I think you are very lucky. Well over 1/2 of the used ones I have managed to accumulate have broken/split chinguards. The newer ones don't seem to suffer that fate although it is true that they ARE newer, so have had less time to have (...) (23 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) Okay, just to be sure -- I am talking about the type of helmets used in classic space. Are these the same as are used in the yellow castle -- I mean, obviously without the the visors, but is the underlying helmet the same? I have quite a few (...) (23 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) Yes, and yes. (...) I'll defer to others but I think you're lucky. Or I'm unlucky, in this regard anyway. ++Lar (23 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) Also remember that in about 1984? they reinforced that classic helmet with a thicker chin strap. I have a few of each, and the thicker ones are much stronger. GREG~ (23 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) Yes. (...) That's surprising. You took good care of your toys. :^) Some of the classic helmets have thicker reinforced chins - I think they modified the design of the element around 1983 or 1984. LEGO wouldn't have bothered doing that if they (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) Wow, I'd never noticed that. You're right, the helmet styles changed in the early 80's to have a thicker chin guard. But even still most of my early helmets are not cracked in the chin area, and I really played with those sets heavily. I have (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.general)
