| (...) Unfortunately, Futuron might not be quite "classic" enough for the demand (although I wouldn't mind seeing them too). But the Classic spaceman--albeit with a newer-style helmet, I'd imagine--has no unique parts and in fact only *one* printing (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-02, to lugnet.dear-lego)

| Lindsay & All, (...) Well, I was chuckling at myself when I wrote this, I doubt any classic spacemen will come to life again. More of a wish than anything. That is what Dear LEGO is for. : ) (...) 10 actually isn't too bad either, but I won't hold (...) (23 years ago, 27-Mar-02, to lugnet.dear-lego)

| Bill & All, (...) Well, first off, I think it was more wishful thinking than anything. Second, I think there is some worthwhile discussion especially since LEGO seems to be in the habit of bringing out some older sets as of late. While we do not (...)

| | | | | Re: Bring back the old

| (...) Actually, I've gotta disagree on that one. Maybe I'm just a hopeless optimist (wait, isn't that contradictory?), but the "Classic" spaceman is so very classic that I think it would find a wide audience even among those who don't collect (...) (23 years ago, 27-Mar-02, to lugnet.dear-lego)

| (...) I still don't understand the whole big deal with the old-style helmets. How many new molds has Lego made in the last copule of years with Bionicle, HP, Starwars, JS, Belville etc etc... how much would it hurt for them to make ONE to re-release (...)

| | | | | Re: Bring back the old
|
| (...) I think it's more that they don't want to invest in a new mold--which has been fairly well established as being a lengthy and costly process-- for a relatively limited-circulation (yes, limited!) item. But as far as I know it's the only part (...) (23 years ago, 27-Mar-02, to lugnet.dear-lego)

| Lindsay & All, (...) Right, ther eis nothing wrong with being an optimist, I would love to see it, and sicne TLC has turned around a bit in terms of the Legends, who knows? I would be happy with it. (...) I would think they could make a new mold for (...) (23 years ago, 27-Mar-02, to lugnet.dear-lego)

| Lindsay, (...) Indeed. I don't know if they have the old style mold or not. Is the Cyprus Tree mold new or the original? DO they have multiples of molds of various parts? (...) Right. Scott S. -- (23 years ago, 27-Mar-02, to lugnet.dear-lego)

| | | | | Re: Bring back the old

| Bill & All, (...) I see. The ole style of helmets is too fragile? Hmmm... I guess I was pretty good for them, most of mine are still together. : ) Anyway, we shall see what happens with the space line. If they don't want to do Classic Space, (...) (23 years ago, 27-Mar-02, to lugnet.dear-lego)

| (...) I'm sure we've had this discussion before, and as with most things I'm probably in the minority, but for me those thin helmets were/are as integral to classic space as the planet insignia or the indomitable smiley faces.
