Who knows? That's why I am <outrageous french accent> taunting them a
second time!</outrageous french accent> But check this out:

I have both types of helmets in black sitting atop my 'puter in different
MOC configurations. It does appear to be the space/classic castle helmet.
BTW, I insist that NONE of my old classic visors have ever snapped at the
chinstrap. I think people are just seeing ones that have been stepped on or
something if they think this is a common problem. I have had many of my
current stock of classic helmets since the early 80s and it is NOT the case
that these helmets fly apart of themselves. None of mine have done so.
If they want to revamp the old #375 Yellow Castle with these new visors,
they could do worse than to additionally make it a light/dark grey, or even
tan castle. Yellow never really did it for me. But I'd buy practically any
color for either the original helmets, or these new ones in quantity.
Other cool types of helmets could be Binky's customs seen at:

Anyway, let's keep the noise down in this forum unless Lego people want to
join in on the discussion. Lugnut followups to: lugnet.castle please.
