(...) [...] (...) Brad Justus addressed this at BricksWest, saying that Space was not on the agenda because of the Star Wars Ep. II release. There's no contractual restriction, as has been rumored, but there are good marketing reasons why it would (...) (23 years ago, 21-Feb-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)

If they really want to knock all us Spaceheads on our butts, the first Space Legend set will be the #6971 Message-Intercept Base from Blacktron I. As far as I can tell, all the pieces in this set are still being used. If we're going to have to wait (...) (23 years ago, 21-Feb-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)

(...) Guess that means more money that lego WONT be getting and that instead will be going to the secondary market. (23 years ago, 21-Feb-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)

(...) I would have to agree on you with that. The Message-intercept base is my favorite set, as well as a Blacktron Classic. However, I would also like to see a 6985 Cosmic Fleet Voyager become a legend. The set has an interesting design and would (...) (23 years ago, 21-Feb-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)

(...) I respectfully disagree with your thoughts for a first Space LEGENDS release. :) In my mind the best way to bring back an old series like this is to go right back to the beginning if at all possible. Bring back something from the original (...) (23 years ago, 21-Feb-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)

(...) Am I the only one who fails to see the logic in their.... logic? Would it be so impossible to believe that a Space set released alongside or shortly after the Star Wars sets might actually appeal to the same market? If you're talking 'Classic' (...)

I think the problem with releasing something from the late 70s is that while the sets may be very enticing to the classic lego collector, I don't think they will look exciting enough to today's kids. I'm not saying they are worse sets than LoM, but (...) (23 years ago, 21-Feb-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)

(...) This would be a valid point if the bulk of their Legend sales were to adults. Unfortunately they aren't. The bulk of their sales are to kids (directly or indirectly). Probably 95% (or more) of their market has a very limited budget (kids or (...) (23 years ago, 21-Feb-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)

They don't want to hurt LEGO retail figures by having LEGO Direct offer products that directly compete with (...) (23 years ago, 21-Feb-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)
