    Re: what makes a legend? —Magnus Lauglo
    First off, let me thank you for going out to the lego community like this and actually asking us what we think about this. It shows us you are aware of us as a relevant source for opinions. My other great hobby apart from lego is that I am a huge (...) (23 years ago, 20-Oct-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
   
        Re: what makes a legend? —Ben Gatrelle
   (...) I have to disagree with this. For me, one of the things that make this set a Classic/Legend is those horses you had to build yourself. I would even balk at, but could accept, the change in the knights' helmets and the requisite change in the (...) (23 years ago, 21-Oct-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
   
        Re: what makes a legend? —John Rudy
   (...) Ben et All, I'm sorry to disagree with you here, Ben, but I can't stand a classic spaceman with a newer style helmet. If a Galaxy Explorer or some other classic was released with the new helmets instead of the thin chins, I'd be throughly (...) (23 years ago, 21-Oct-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
   
        RE: what makes a legend? —Doug Finney
     (...) I have my own particular parts hang-ups too, but helmets aren't among them. But to my way of thinking, I'd much rather be able to buy a new Galaxy Explorer with new-style helmets and have to track down old helmets on Brickbay than buy a used (...)

         Re: what makes a legend? —James Brown
     (...) Ditto. I suspect most AFOLs would rather have a Legend that is 99% accurate than not have a Legend at all. thanks, James (23 years ago, 22-Oct-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
   
        Re: what makes a legend? —Michael Dallaston
     (...) I think this too. I'm an original space fan and the thought of them walking around with big chunky helmuts disgusts me (not as much as Jack Stone, though!) Also re: wheels - Many of the classic space and Blacktron sets came with those large (...) (23 years ago, 22-Oct-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
    
         Re: what makes a legend? —Lindsay Frederick Braun
     (...) Eh, I'd be fine with BT-I having those helmets. The actual helmets they sported were the same, IIRC. (...) They already are compatible with something else--the Technic axle. That is, if you and I are thinking of the same tyres: (URL)Finally, I (...) (23 years ago, 23-Oct-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

        Re: what makes a legend? —John P. Henderson
   (...) Wow. I feel a generation gap coming on. Only just now, part way into the new millenium and half way through this thread, did I recognize the fact that the old style helmet is no longer available! I have so many of them in my collection, I (...) (23 years ago, 23-Oct-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

   <snip> (...) <snip> Well me too, i always thoughts that they just added various visors/face masks etc to the existing helmet, i'll hav to have a look. mind you i did notice that the originals are a bit fagile Tim (23 years ago, 24-Oct-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
