1. TLC WILL issue these sets in fall 2001.

2. My two bricks: Billund is located in Denmark. These sets will appear with
new set number and new box and reissued under the label "classic". This is
definitely no decision of a 3rd class Black Forest store manager, but will
be a new Lego line. Doesn't anyone remember the vivid discussions whether to
reissue old sets or not??
Here you are...... yes, I also do not understand why the decided to reissue
this awful pirate ship and not 6285 or 6286.... However, I bet if these sets
wil sell good enough, we'll see some more old sets sooner or
later............

3. The webmaster of 1000steine.de runs his own Lego online shop and has
access to dealer information. These will definitely not be any exclusive
1000steine.sets, but will be sold at least all over Germany.

So what do you want? Unlimited sets? Unlimited availability? Unlimited time?
Now THIS would be the final step towards bancruptcy.......
