We would like to invite you all to choose our next LEGO Legend release! We
have selected five sets from years past (one of which should make Tim
Courtney very happy). These sets were legends in their time for a number of
reasons, all of which you can read about at:

http://www.LEGO.com/build

or at the voting itself at:

http://www.LEGO.com/myOpinions

Around the end of May, we will announce the winning set. Before you know it,
you will be able to order it from LEGO Shop At Home! Some sets will take
more time to prepare for production, so I can't give a firm launch date, but
the goal is to produce the winner before the end of the year.

And no, the winner of this vote is not the last Legend for the year...

So what are you waiting for?? Head on over to the LEGO Web site now and put
in your 2 cents!!

Since everybody else has, I'll give my opinion:

I think this is great.  We now have a chance to get great sets with highly
inflated prices currently.  I do not care if the castle or space helmet is
slightly different; I do not think it matters.  I do not think these sets
are 'worse' in any way, if you want originals, get them.  They probablly
will be at lower prices anyway.

As for the sets themeselves:  WOOHOOO!

I voted for the Battrax.  Always loved blacktron... but I wouldn't mind if
Main Street or the Barracuda win, either.

As for which I think shall win:

Probablly battrax.  Keep in mind that the majority of voters will be kids.
I think (being one myself) that kids would go for the battrax, it has the
limited 'cool' qualities that kids these days would like.  After battrax, a
tie between main street (for those people who want town back) and the Black
Seas Barracuda, because of its beauty and size.

Anyway, its a win-win situation.

My opinion...
