Thanks for voicing your perspective, Bryan. It's easy for some of us (me
included) to forget that special releases like this, though seemingly
directed straight at the adult enthusiast community, may have an even
bigger impact on your generation. [1]

Sad though it is, I'm glad to hear you say this.

Meanwhile, I was a few years too old to have the set originally. I am
happy, for you and me both, to have this chance to experience the set.

Regarding re-release of nice sets - Though I like to think that
prolonged exposure to quality can create more discriminating consumers.
However, more obviously, I see the LEGO Company's wisdom in looking at
their long-term survival through mixing generations.
I've never (in person) seen this original set. I didn't even know it
existed until surfing through LEGO fans' websites when I was about 25
years old. I have to imagine that now, if I had a child, I would
absolutely love to buy this new release for them. It would be a chance
for us to share something special - bridging our ages.
From The LEGO Company's point of view, this will cycle brand loyalty -
important, especially considering that recent offerings are looking far
less like how I remember. (not as nice)
