I have been following the discussion on RTL about re-issuing older sets. I know this topic comes up often on RTL and I thought I might add what I think would be a new angle on it. Lego is unlikely to reissue sets for myriad reasons that have all (...) (26 years ago, 14-Dec-98, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Another good thing that will definitely come of this is that I can scan the instructions and upload them to kl.net, since they don't appear to be there yet. (26 years ago, 14-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) Well, a couple of people let me know I ought to consider going to get it and even though I figured I wouldn't want it I guessed someone would so I sent my coworker after it. Almost wish I hadn't, though. $40 became $45+tax, so I'm out about (...) (26 years ago, 14-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) Pigs must be flying because I never thought I would defend Town Jr. However, I've always tried to get my nephews and nieces into Lego by buying them on Christmas and birthdays. I found they would get frustrated with the directions though. Town (...) (26 years ago, 14-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

Did anyone else notice that the bugs on the front grill of the truck disappeared between San Francisco and Santa Monica? Are they still modifying the exhibit as it travels across the country? Gary GaryLouie@EarthLink.Net (26 years ago, 14-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) Oh, I hope I didn't offend. Didn't mean to knock anyone who likes the set, I'm just not much of a space nut, so it seems like mostly a few parts I couldn't really use. If I knew where this antique store was I would probably go get it for (...) (26 years ago, 14-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

My sister clipped a newspaper article from her local paper (Hickory, NC) about the Lego Imagination Celebration Truck. Apparently, the truck made an unscheduled stop near Hickory because the truck driver lives there! (and I went to Michigan to see (...) (26 years ago, 14-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

Ok, a coworker was at an antique store, of all places, this weekend and said he saw a late 70's Lego set that resembled the lunar lander module for $40. I wouldn't be interested in this, but I would like to know what it is since I couldn't find (...) (26 years ago, 14-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
