jojo should handle this one...
In my opinion, It looks Dark Grey.
Where did you get your set? In what condition was it when you got it?

Hello!
And Jojo does.
Did your black visor come in an unopened or used set?

Hello!
So there were two black visors in the box?
As for the change of the name for 6086: Do two different boxes exist, with the different names on it?

Nor did I. And it makes only halfways sense since they only changed the name in the US. So that's not at all a good reason to change an element in the model.Emperor James wrote: However, I called lego, and they said something to the effect that when they changed the name to black knights castle, they also changed the dark grey visor to black.
It makes sense, but I've never heard this before.

That's interesting. Quite the antonym to Emperor James' 6086-experience. Unfortunatelly I don't have clear memory of the visor-distribution from the set I got back then. That probably means I didn't notice anything notably different from the instructions.wlister wrote:Both 6086 sets I have had dark grey visors for both knights. One was purchased way back when it was on shelves and another In near mint condition from evilbay.

It is quite possible the set I bought off evilbay had the black visor substituted for the dark grey one. The set was impressively intact and looked like it was only built once. The seller was selling a lot of sets from that era though, so a mistake was possible.
My instructions from my original set showed a black visor on the yellow plumed knight and a dark grey visor on the white plumed knight. I remember being very pleased that I had two dark grey visors instead of having a black visor. I had enough black visors from the 6009 sets I had. I don't know if my set was an anomaly or if the initial North American production run was made this way. Anyone else buy one off the shelves and remember the visor colors?

After a long absence, I have returned. I can't wait to start building again.
