Dear Brad, Jake, and anyone else watching,

I am the owner of two (2) original USS Constellation sets, fulfilling a
childhood dream. I paid quite a bit of money for them a couple of years ago,
and was proud to be a member of a very small group of people who owned this set.

Now, you have re-released this set, making my long-time search, and my
feeling of accomplishment irrelevant and meaningless.

Could you have thought about the current owners, and released the model
under a different name?? The Eagle, Constitution, Brilliant, and Wawona are
all three-masted sailing ships important in US history. I would be partial
to naming the new model "Wawona", as I grew up on a street of that name.

But, please, don't devalue the effort and trouble that some of your fans
have gone to by releasing this model under the same name! It would be as
simple as changing the printing on the sticker and the box and instructions.

Please consider passing on this plea to the marketing group responsible for
the project. I welcome all replies, thoughts, and comments at singlow2@yahoo.com

Thank you for your time and attention.

(...) I agree with what "Duq" wrote. TLC releases products not to be collectible items, but for children (primarily) to PLAY with. As long as you have the original box, parts, and instructions, your set (assuming it's in a good condition) will (...) (22 years ago, 6-Dec-02, to lugnet.dear-lego)
