I've read discussion about the desire for reissues of various sets,
(apparently) especially the classic space sets. The only problem (other
than Lego not doing it ;) seems to be that it would be bad for collectors, who
would lose the value invested in obtaining the older sets (also a
concern to me).
My suggestion: Re-release the classic sets with thematic color changes.
Instead of a blue Galaxy Explorer with yellow windows, give us a
black one with red windows. Instead of white and red smiley astronauts, give
us grey and green ones.
They could call the sets Mirror World.

| (...) Well as someone who has a lot of older sets, I wouldn't be upset if they reissued some of the older sets. When you think of the thousands of sets that were produced since 1958, they aren't going to reissue more than a few anyway. It would (...) (25 years ago, 10-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
