While searching for pirate sets I noticed that 6259 Broadside's Brig and 6267 Lagoon Lock-up are listed as belonging to the Imperial Guards. Shouldn´t they be under Soldiers? The 4 sets under Soldiers was released in 1989 and 1990. They all sport blue coats and flags. http://guide.lugnet.com/set/?qc=lego/system/pirate/soldiers The 2 sets in question was released in 1991 and also have blue coats and flags. The rest of the sets listed under Imperial Guards are from 1992 through 1995. They have red coats and red flags. http://guide.lugnet.com/set/?qc=lego/system/pirate/imperialguards I have visited Brickshelf to see if the old catalog would be of any help. But they show 6259 and 6267 as belonging to both groups: As part of Soldiers: http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/catalogs/1991/c91de/c91de-18.html http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/catalogs/1991/c91de/c91de-19.html As part of Imperial Guards: http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/catalogs/1992/c92us/c92us-07.html The catalogs and the release years doesn't provide an answer. But the two sets have the same coats and flags as the Soldiers. Christian

Christian, I've asked this question in this newsgroup on several occasions, and I'm Afraid there are no definitive answers. At some point Lego decided that the soldiers should switch colors, and it appears that the switch didn't necessarily happen (...) (24 years ago, 2-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)
