Many "collectors" are annoyed, because TLC slapped them in the face by

Blah. I couldn't care less if collectors are annoyed. The new sets won't

respect... that's what LEGO is, a BUILDING toy. If you want to collect
something, there are some nice Bionicle mask packs on the market that will
keep you busy for awhile.

(...) Actually, the reissue should make collectors deleriously happy. Right now there are two major groups of people looking to buy out-of-production LEGO sets- set collectors (those who want to have a set for the sake of having the set) and (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

Hello, I'm consurring with Jojo's opinion but want to add 2 further cents. In Germany, specific in the Forum at 1000steine.de, there were much more criticism of the new "Legends-Line".
