(...) Yes, there are always production costs - my bet is that this cost them considerably less to put back into production than designing a new set. As to production logjam - this is only significant if they are currently at their maximum (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

I would just like to clarify a point here: we are all Lego collectors. Lego refers to us that way, we behave like classic collectors, and there is nothing wrong with being a Lego collector! Look at all the catalogs and Lego Mania magazines. They are (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I think your definition of a collector is fundamentally wrong. Webster's defines a collector as one that collects or a person who makes a collection. No where does it mention that one has to have every set in a series to be a collector or does (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)
