| (...) Hi Richard, I agree 100% on the idea of 'Variants'. I am even convinced that has by far more market potential as the 99,8% copies which are now sold as 'Legends'. But for the 375 castle, I would strongly recommend to make it in sandcolour tan. (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jul-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.general)

| Hm, very tantalising subject. Do we still do polls somewhere in the community? If so, I'm very curious about the outcome of the following question: Would you buy a re-issue of set #375/6075 (Yellow Castle) preferebly in a Light and/or Dark Gray (...)
