(...) I have no problems with your suggestion, Elliot. Its just that having seen TLC idea of a new castle set (i.e. castle 2000 sets) don't you think it would just be nicer to have older sets re-released? I'm all for new Black Falcon sets if TLC (...) (25 years ago, 14-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Why re-release old sets? I'd rather TLC just make new and better sets. Or make NEW sets for OLD themes. For example, new Black Falcon sets. <hint, hint> Thanks, Elliot Hyde (25 years ago, 14-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

I've always enjoyed the Lego Idea Books. It's been a couple of years since they made one, even longer since they made a Technic-oriented one. How about more of them? Maybe even one per year? (Sounds good to me, anyway ;-) - Greg (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
