Then why didn't my friend see the Freestyle sets and say, "Ah, that's what I was looking for"? Maybe because the models pictured on the set look like something that would interest a 3-4 year old. By "dopey" pieces I mean the patterns they slap all (...) (26 years ago, 4-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) I agree that a classic sets line would rock, and probably do real well. But just because a handful of desperate AFOL's would pay $100 for 6074 (I wouldn't) that doesn't mean many other people would. Granted, though, they could sell them for (...) (26 years ago, 6-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
