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 accurate. And I never did care much for stickers on
mini-figures, as they show wear easier. Update the Yellow Castle with new
Great Helms/Bucket Helms, change the overall color from Yellow to Grey and
Dark Grey, add a brown, black, white and grey horse with appropriate saddles
and print the shields and armor like current Castle figures (or do away with
the stickers) and it suddenly becomes new and improved!!!!!
Then, I suppose, it is not a Legends set anymore. Is it?
6075 was a good set, but I like the Crusaders, Black Knight's, Dark Forest
and Black Falcons better. That is, as I've said, my humble opinion.
As far as the original 6075 goes, all parts are still in production (though
not proper colors) with the exception of the old helmets, visors, 1x1
windows, and sticker sheets.
Play well,
