I was following this "essay" pretty well up until this close.
I don't catch your point. You seem
to be saying that LEGO has re-released a particular set because of
eBay prices to make tons of money? Well, given the price they're
selling the set for (compared to eBay), they are hardly even close.
And if anything the eBay prices will drop because of the availability
again of the set. In fact the price is so good I suspect many of
the "builders" will be buying them just for the parts. Sure, it's
not bulk bricks with infinite selection, but it seems pretty good
to me.
Again, I'm not really sure what you were taking issue with...
