I have came up with my own theory (probably more a wish). When I checked up
the sets at Lego.com and I looked at the prices.
6941 Battrax 25$
6074 Black Flacons Fortress 35$
6390 Main Street 60$
375 Yellow Castle 70$
6285 Black Seas Barracuda 100$
I noticed one thing. They are all in separate price ranges from the high end
100$ down to 25$. I don’t think this is a coincidence. 6390, 375 and 6285
all seems like natural legends in the own categories. Most of the castle
heads would probably say 375 if you asked for a legend to be released and
most townies would(my guess) say 6390. The other two sets 6074 and 6941 are
not so sure Legends. Both are very good sets but I think that at least 6741
indicates that Lego wanted sets from the whole price scale and therefore
didn’t choose the MIB as a candidate.
I hope this indicates that the whole voting is just a scam to keep us fans
happy and that we will someday see all this sets at S@H or in retail(not
very likely). Myself I put my vote on the BFF, because I like the BF’s and
desperately want more.

| (...) Seventy dollars for a Yellow Castle?!!! What? This is a theory, right?! There's no way I would throw down $70 for a yellow castle set. I mean, it's about the same size as a BFF, and double the price. I'm voting for the Battrax, and I'm not (...) (22 years ago, 14-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)
