Why did you ever discontue some really great loved-by-children (like me :)
pieces and sets? Like the 1994-1996 Town > Race/Rescue sets like 6337, • 6335,
6598, 6625, etc. And the 1997-1998 Space > UFO/Insectoids?

Lego sets have an average life of 2 years, then they make way for new
sets/new lines. If the line does well, more sets follow. The sheer amount of
UFO and Insectoids sets I saw getting reduced down to virtually nothing in a
vain attempt to shift them (I got one of the £70 sets for £15) says to me
that maybe not everyone liked them ;)
