They won't be the same (different set numbers), but besides that, these are toys
we are talking about, not investments.  If someone takes a bath from using LEGO as
an investment, well that's the breaks in a market....

I will be happy cause hopefully I can get some old
sets again.

That's the whole point:-)

but a little disapointed cause now anyone can have a cheap army

John, think about what you just wrote, and how silly and self-serving it was.  I
like to think that AFOLs are above such caddiness.

it might wreck havoc on ebay and brick bay etc. (which
can be overpriced)

???  Prices will always be determined by supply and demand.  Nothing is
overpriced, unless it doesn't sell.  High prices merely reflect motivated buyers
(and sometimes clueless ones at that;-)
