Now this is cool!!!  I guess the Metroliner and Airport Shuttle can't be too
far behind!

Thanks, this announcement is all good.

In lugnet.lego.announce, Brad Justus writes:
Okay, so it's still June. Let's just say that we're as eager to announce
this as you are to hear about it. So without further ado...

LEGO Direct is pleased to announce the arrival of a new product series: LEGO
Legends. LEGO Legends are reissues of landmark LEGO sets -- perhaps the
first set in a particular playtheme, or a set widely acknowledged as a
superlative building experience, or perhaps simply a much beloved set.

And the first LEGO Legend is (the envelope please)...

The Guarded Inn (set #6067).

(I like to imagine that at this point in the message there will be gasps and
the sound of people falling off their chairs. I really hope that you all are
delighted by this -- we've had a lot of fun getting this accomplished.)

The set is complete, with all parts exactly as included in the original
release in 1986. Packaging will different (more like the LEGO Sculpture
packaging); the set will be issued as set #10000.

The Guarded Inn will be sold exclusively through LEGO Shop At Home in all
LEGO Shop At Home markets. It will be available for preorder on LEGO.com
tomorrow (Friday, June 8) -- I am not certain exactly in which category or
categories it will be listed, but if you can't find it, do an Item Number
search for set 10000. Currently, we estimate that the set will be shipping
the first week of July (hence the "July Surprise"). The price will be $24.99
in the US, and will be equivalently priced in other markets.

To answer in advance a couple of questions which I suspect may arise: LEGO
Legends are different from the "classic" reissues which were announced a
couple of weeks ago. Those classics are not intended to be a long-running
series, whereas LEGO Legends is. The classics are limited to reissues of
very recent product, whereas LEGO Legends may reach back much farther (hey,
we've gone back 15 years for the first one, right?). LEGO Legends will not
be issued frequently -- likely only a few times each year. But you can be
certain that the sets which will appear in this series will be the very best
that LEGO has produced. And yes, I can assure you that The Guarded Inn is
only the first in the line.

The Guarded Inn is only one of what will be a very active LEGO Direct
exclusive product assortment -- you've already had a taste of what is to
come with our trains and the Sopwith Camel. There will be much more. So (I
hear you ask), "what *is* coming???"

Well, for that, you'll just have to wait...
for the *August* Surprise.

Play Well!

Based on some comments I've heard, I think I won't be bidding on any
Metroliners any time soon. Of course that might still slip into the
Classics line.

What rare parts does Guarded Inn have? What was involved in putting them
back into production (speculation...)

What rare parts does Metroliner have? What would be involved in putting them
back into production (speculation)?

What rare parts does Airport Shuttle have? What would be involved in putting
them back into production (speculation)?

Answer those questions to yourself and you will have some sense of the
relative possibility(1) of bringing Metroliner and Airport Shuttle back. I
came to two very different conclusions about these two items, unfortunately,
since I do dearly love both of them. One is possible, the other, in my
estimation, is not, although I would be delighted to be wrong about it.

This is intended as a thought exercise for the reader rather than a
discussion spur, do your own thinking, draw your own conclusions.

1 - not "probability". Possible is neccessary but not sufficient for probable.

If you think of it that way then i would say the metroliner is very
possible(ie the window packs,plates etc still being made) VS very few of the
parts from 6399 being made(ie track,mono train cars etc.)

Nothing, really, except the printing on the doors/thin panels.  Anything else  is
still made today, AFAIK.


What would be involved in putting them

Very little, most likely.  Same for the 4547, which I'd really want to see if they
released the 4558.  I own 5-7 4547s, 2 still MISB, but I'd love MORE for parts ;-)

I don't know, why don't you list them for us?  ;-)

There are a few other rare parts that I can think of:
bicycles
the nose pieces
I think it also came with some lamp posts of some kind but I cant remember.

Those aren't really rare, and they still have to have the molds - they made the Deutsch
Telekom sets last year.

the nose pieces

Not rare, still have the molds, most likely - 4559.

DEFINITELY not rare anymore, they're in some Creator sets this year.

Bicycles were made recently with the Telekom promo sets (1196-1199).  The
lamp posts are currently in on of the Mickey sets and I think one of the
Creator sets.  The train nose pieces most recently appeared (in yellow) in
4559, the train cab window was in one of the ResQ sets and the Time Cruisers
flying boat thing.

The part that hasn't been in anything recently (that I know of) is the large
(1x5x4) panel doors that are used on the engine.

The monorail motor, the monorail motor cover, the monorail chassis pieces,
the various track pieces used... those were the biggies in my estimation,
with the monorail motor being an order of magnitude, or *more*, (1) harder
to put back in production than any of the others.

1 - Consider the implications of what is involved to manufacture a part that
has a motor and gearing within it. It's not a matter of just putting a mold
back onto a molding machine. You have to put a whole assembly line back
together, or farm the work out to a third party.

I briefly looked through the instructions on Brickshelf today.  I got
very excited about what at first seemed to be 2 classic 1x1 windows in
yellow added in step 25:

http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/6000/6067/6067-07.html

Turns out that this is a 1x1 "headlight" brick turned "backwards"
instead.  But my disappointment is tempered by the fact that this is a
really neat use of that piece that had not occured to me before :)

This actually came up in discussion not too long ago in .castle-- as for

-Saddle w/ single clip (1992?)  [easily replaced w/ 2-clip version]
-Minifig Head w/ solid stud (?) [easily replaced w/ hollow version]
-Plastic Minifig Cape (1993)
-1x1x2 Shutter (1996?) [this can't be right, can it?]
-1x4x6 door (1996?)
-Castle Corner wall (1997?)
-Knight Helm w/ Grille (1997)

The only other component would be printed elements:
-Flag w/ tavern print
-Corner castle wall w/ tudor print
-Castle wall w/ tudor print
-Castle wall w/ bricked window print
-Shield w/ lion & yellow background
-Shield w/ falcon & yellow border
-Torso w/ beads and neckline
-Torso w/ breastplate print
-Torso w/ crossed axe print

So, not *too* much effort on TLC's part-- though I am kinda suprised that
they didn't make it more expensive, like, say $30.00 [but I won't be
complaining!]

The $25 price for a 246 piece set in and of itself is *amazing* when you
consider that King Leo's Castle has 524 pieces for $90, the Royal Joust has
99 for $20, and Bull's Attack has 307 for $50.

Then to factor in how brilliant this set is, and all of the pieces and
printing they had to do for what is essentially a one-set theme, begs the
questions:  Does this mark the end of juniorization in castle?  And will we
see other Castle Legends that incorporate the Crossed-Axe Knights tudor
walls, Falcon & Crusader shields, etc., in the near future (like August?).

I have a bunch of the 2585s (http://guide.lugnet.com/set/2585 -
http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/2000/2585/) I'll be parting out (I mainly
want the brickster torso, and some of the small train wheels)...

Who would be interested in the train "superman", with both heads (regular
and with red mask over the eyes) and cape?  I'll probably want to
sell/trade off 10-20 of them.

Any idea on a value to place on them?  Somewhat high, since they are
somewhat unique, but HOW high?  They'd be great for people into comic
books, to build superheros.

I might be interested!  But let me get this straight -- you WANT to keep
what is essentially a TIMMY figure?!

Is there any chance you would scan the "Bricksters" torso for me? O wait,
that might be illegal...forget it...

Who cares about the head, the Timmy figure has a KILLER torso!

I've never seen that torso ANYWHERE else, and when I displayed at NMRA last
year, that's the only piece that was stolen, that minifig :-/

against the Lugnet Racing Team I'll be building), but I don't see a problem
with scanning the torso, I'll try to get around to it someday.

I might be interested!  But let me get this straight -- you WANT to keep
what is essentially a TIMMY figure?!

Is there any chance you would scan the "Bricksters" torso for me? O wait,
that might be illegal...forget it...

I've never seen that torso ANYWHERE else, and when I displayed at NMRA last
year, that's the only piece that was stolen, that minifig :-/

Wow, whoever stole it knows their stuff.  Rather than grab a generic Timmy,
s/he grabbed the special one!

I mean, look at it, it has a brick exploding out of his chest!  ;-)

After looking at the torso, you're right, it looks pretty cool!  Maybe
that's the minifig equivalent of a human having an alien burst out of their
chest.  :)

Tom ,

I could use a few of those figures - maybe 10. They would come in handy for
various things I've got in mind.

Tom,
I would be interested in one (1) of those figures (actually I just need the
red mask head, but will buy the whole fig if necessary). Put me on your list
when you decide a price.
Thanks,
Clark

want the brickster torso, and some of the small train wheels)...

Ok, I noticed this on peeron when I was looking through 6067's inventory,
but I checked the instructions for the Lego Loco set (2585) on brickshelf
and I didn't see it there-- I had figured it was a mis-entry on peeron... Is
this the right set to be looking at?
