I'm not sure about anyone else, but I couldn't care less if my LEGO is
"collectible." I love my bricks because I BUILD with them.

Most of what I love about Classic Space is the CS logo. If LEGO would
release a CS decorated brick pack, that would be way cool.

Mmmmmmm inverse slope computers. Speaking of which... how about a Space
Computers Bulk Pack? Just a big mess o' computers from all eras of the Space
line. I can dream....

see from LEGO. Was your post only intended to compliment LEGO?

(...) No. All the posts lately are very inflammatory, and I don't get it. It would be different if Lego was putting out 'nothing but' juniorization and z-nap. But we've got model class x-wings, lego direct, and other stuff that I see as very (...) (26 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)
