Hello!


Cool down, young padawan!

In the black castles mostly the prefab wall pieces are black, the bricks are mostly grey.

And nobody said they didn't want new figs because they are sturdier now. I said you can't put new figs to a model and pretend you have a complete set from the 80s.

Good, because I think everyone here realizes that a rerelease isn't the original set. That doesn't mean we don't want a rerelease (even in bley) anyway.

Which is why I'm thinking we should go for a grey castle now. If we're going to get bley, lets get a LOT of it.

I encourage you all to vote, as we really need accurate results here.

Anyway, who here intends to start sending leters, emails, ect. to tlc requesting to have the chosen set rereleased? If not enough people are willing, this will all be for naught. You have got to be willing to ask for the set that we as a group choose, even if it is not your first choice.

Do you mean you're voting for 6085, or are requesting its rerelease right now? Though right now it is tied for first, the idea is to wait until we can reasonably say we have chosen one set,and then all bombard tlc with emails ect.

And, of course,I am glad of your support! :D

I'll send a letter and 2-3 emails requesting whichever set is voted on.
Don't make me angry... I'm running out of places to hide the bodies.

Also, a Legend set would make it fairly easy for me to accumulate a large number of brand new forestmen minifigs. :)
You already can replace... better build the set with old grey bricks now. So no need for a rerelease. As for the figs: Collector-wise it's not possible to replace original figs with rereleased figs because new figs have this massive structure inside that older figs don't have.
Of course that doesn't matter much if you only want a large quantity of those figs not necessarily meant to be part of an original set.

Yes, I can build the building for 6066 right now. I probably will do it soon.

I would still like a re-release of 6066 so I can build up a large forestmen army very cheaply.

============================================

Anyway, about this Poll, I voted on 6060. For the cost of one 6085, I could probably get 3 or 4 6060s, which would be great for army building.

If they ever re-release another Black Falcon set, I hope they fix the torso design.

Ok, I'm rambling now. Bye!

Where is the Royal Knights castle?
If it where there I'd vote on it
*And the bulls arrive in kk2*
Cedric the bull: "Hahaha Leo we're here to- wtf?"
*and the bulls see some happy knights bouncing at each other with carts*
Cedric (shocked): "I guess we got the wrong KK''
Bull soldier (frightened): "Lets go back"

GOOD NEWS! :D

Here's my E-Mail I sent requesting that Black Monarchs Castle be the next legend:
Thank you for your email from 08/09/04 and for your interest in our LEGO®
products.

As you know, the set you inquired about, #6085 Black Dragon Castle, has been
discontinued from our current product line. Each year, several sets are
discontinued and new ones added. By doing this, we provide a product line with
more variety and a continuing challenge to our LEGO builders.

And, you never know... your favorite set may emerge again with a slightly
different look! But, which sets make a come back and when... is a closely
guarded secret! However, your request has been recorded. Please keep a close
look for our LEGO LEGENDS on www.LEGOShop.com !

We also do hope that one of the many new sets included in our current retail and
Shop At Home product lines will appeal to the LEGO builders in your home. LEGO
sets are sold in national chain stores such as Kmart, Toys R Us, Walmart and
Target Stores to ensure that they are readily available to consumers. If, for
some reason, you're unable to locate a particular current set at retail, you may
call this direct order telephone line, 800-453-4652, for price information and a
free catalog. You can also order items on line now at www.lego.com.

Thank you again for contacting us. We wish your family many happy hours of
creative building with LEGO brand toys in the years to come.

Okay the poll isn't going to go any further, so it seems we have decided on 6085! Start sending those letters!
