I'm obviously wrong about my ideas about the re-release of older sets.

I thought that there would be a group of collectors who would not want old • sets to

vintage sets.


Few here are collectors first.  To coin a Larry phrase "love of the brick" is
the primary modivator.  Scalper is the most evil name you can be called here,
seconded by speculator.

The more re-release sets = the better.  In fact if I judge demand with even
remote accuaracy, these re-releases would probably not affect price of the
originals that much.  Just develop some good margins for TLG with little to no
additional development costs (hint hint).
