So you do not like new specialized pieces, is that correct?  Well, I
remember when the space theme appeared for the first time.  The
magnitude of new specialized pieces was huge!  And I loved it!  The more
specialized pieces, the better.  In my neighbourhood, the boy with the
most specialized space pieces was the coolest.

I've grown more mature by now, but I still like the introduction of some
new pieces, becuase it makes me able to build a wider range of models.

Maybe if enough classic lovers send messages somehow, they'll at
least re-issue some of the most popular sets...

That doesn't make sense to me.  To me, LEGO is a construction toy, not
collection items.  I only buy LEGO to be able to build various models,
not to collect them.  So I don't think LEGO should rerelease old sets
for the sake of some adult collectors.  I hope this wasn't too
controversial.
