John & All,

Don't get me wrong I really hope that they are reissuing old early 80's
sets.  I want a guarded inn and a large army of black falcons.  I'm just
giving reasons why people may not be going crazy.

Indeed. As a pretty big collector of LEGO sets (Not for money, bt I enjoy
havbing them) and of LEGO parts, I would b happy to trade in the value of my
stuff, for more people having access to older sets. And I for one, would
love not paying 3~5.00 for each futuron minifig. I do, I don't reget buying
them, but it would be nice to see it cheaper.

I don't sell LEGO or collect it for profit, but there is something special
about owning smoething that everyone else wants.  If I had more rare (or any
extremely rare) LEGO sets I would be disapointed if everyone else could get
one too.

Well, I think it is a good stroke of genious that TLC made different set
numbers, so you can still have that original factor. Yes, I have both xxxx
and xxxx too. I actually got that et when it first came out, but I am glad
you can get it again.

I know, I know, Whaa whaa.  it isn't a big deal. just not everyone will be
super psyched about the reissue of old sets.  assuming that that is what the
july surprise is I will be one of the first people at TRU.

I think it is a great move on their part, and I hope it is really
profitable, and I hope more and more sets and accessories come out. (HINT:
MONORAIL MONORAIL MONORAIL FUTURON FUTURON FUTURON)

<snippy snip> (...) I cannot agree more! Bring on the Futuron, Blacktron, and monorail! If lego ever rereleased these sets, they would sell like hotcakes among the AFOL communtiy, and I'd sure think they would sell better than the new stuff to the (...)
