Interesting perspective you hold here - I don't think I've thought of it this

classics
of 5, 10, 15+ years from now.  And like you said - we can continue themes
ourselves because the parts are there.

The parts are "there."

"There" being eBay or another auction site. Classic Space parts are tough to
get in any kind of decent condition.

So... while I can build sets using my Classic Space parts, younger builders
may not necessarily be able to.
