I will be curious when the Guarded Inn arrives in July. Will it have
the old style minifig heads with no open top? Or the newer style with
the hole on top with what looks like the Mercedes emblem over the hole.
I tend to think that the Legend sets will have today's parts, whenever
they have changed over the years. I would assume that any Legend set
with 1x1 round bricks will likewise NOT have the full stud like they
used to make in the 1970's, but the modern top with the hole. After all
these are what (in coin collecting circles) are called "RESTRIKES",
namely a modern copy of an old item. I would also not expect to find
the older type 2x2 windows (1970s-80s), but to find the more modern
1990's type 2x2 window. It will be interesting.
Here's some set's I'd like to see produced once again:
6390 Main Street (is that a Cypress tree hiding behind the building??).
396 Thatcher Perkins (already mentioned)
384/760 London Bus (never been a small set with sooooo many classic
windows).
398 U.S.S. Constellation (already mentioned by someone else).
375/6075 Yellow Castle - need I say why?
7740 Intercity Train.
I can't think of any others at the moment, but I will......

It seems to imply that older parts can indeed return--although as to your (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.general)

| (...) I agree about the reproductions of some of these sets, however, 6075 should be updated in my humble opinion. I don't care so much for the old style helms and visors on the old mounted knights, the newer style is far more durable and period (...)
