Now, this means: The idea "Legends" is futile. The Yellow Castle IS a legend. It has been a legend for years and it will be a legend in future, regardless of TLC re-releasing it and labeling it a "Legend" or not. It has been the first Castle set. Fullstopp. That's enough.
No, it's not. It has to be a great old set that people want to buy again - "Legends" isn't about validation, it's about offering a great old set that is in demand and people will buy. The Yellow Castle lost in the vote to a more modest medium sized set. It finished below mid-level on my "Favorite Castle Poll" on Lugnet (pause while I retrieve the URL)....

It is interesting to note that originally 6080 and 6086 where duking it out for the top spot, and 6074 only took over after it became widely available once again as a Legend (it ran a very close number 3 until then). The 1st Castle may have a place in history and hearts, but it's down the list on which people would like to see re-released given a very thin amount of re-releases.

Of course if LEGO released almost any old castle set other than 6037 I will be thrilled
hehe

Hi Ben,

6037 is considered the worse Castle set ever? I can think of one or two worse then that one. I guess it can be a new poll you know, which was the worst castle set ever made by TLC (don't even bother to include 2004 sets:-)
