(...) Oooh, it's been a long time since I've played that game. But, weren't most of the out-of-print powerful cards removed because of being broken in some way or another? That's not a problem with lego sets, is it? (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) It is the same with magic the gathering cards. I collected for a while and I found that the rarest card was the black lotus. What would happen if WOTC re-released the black lotus. Anyone who has an origonal would stop purchasing WOTC (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Definitely. Again, it's been a while, but if I remember right, tournament rules only allow cards of the most current two revisions. This allows them to slowly fix mistakes they made in the past. (Of course, people playing on their own love to (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Yes. There are ways around allowing them in tournaments, see that collection they did a while ago. Contained long OOP Arabian Nights cards, among others (all whitebordered this time 'round), which weren't reintroduced to tournament play. I (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) I can't say that I'd stop purchasing their products (since I already have), but yes, I would be pretty darn pissed if they rereleased the Lotus, Juzam, Library, etc. All of which I own at least one of. Jasper (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
