Ah, who cares about preserving the value of older sets for
collectors?
I think you could make the argument that blue or red torsos would be
better or cooler, but I for one wouldn't give a flying rodent's
behind about the effect revising older sets/minifigs would have on
the "collectors' market" - and I bet most people would agree with
me.
Re-issue 6067 and 6071 - identical in every way to the original, at
the original price (or close to it). I'll buy 50 of each myself,
and not care one bit that the "value" of my older ones just
fell through the floor.

| (...) Hear Hear... There is about zero reason for TLC to preserve the collectible value of older sets. Except for a small handfull of "limited edition" sets, TLC has never presented their sets as collectors items. (25 years ago, 5-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
