I would buy 2 or 3 just for parts. But, as shown in a recent thread either here on on RTL, it could effect what is considered to be a *real* set, ei, buying the galxy explorer in '79. People could buy the "meta" set and then build the explorer, then (...) (26 years ago, 15-Dec-98, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

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.

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)
