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 anymore. Certainly I think they'd sell
lots more of those than Breezeway Cafés, which would surely put them into
Legends-able range. The fact that they were produced with only minor
improvements to the fig for seven or eight years only stands to improve
their appeal as nostalgia or collectible items.
So I don't think it's at all beyond the realm of possibility. It's even
more likely if 928, 924, or 918 (the ULTIMATE space classics!) is re-
released! (I keep thinking of this with the Yellow Castle in mind too--
but that old-style helmet is a persistent problem.)

Not for you or me, but something about that second digit might scare
casual buyers. $8 seems like a good price point for 5 figs, IMHO.
They can even polybag it and I'd be happy. :D

| (...) I still don't understand the whole big deal with the old-style helmets.
