Hi, i guess there would be some concern regarding values of the
classic sets as well. Also, alot of parts from early space sets are no
longer made (it's amazing at how many pieces have changed in small
ways from the early 80's).
But it'll basically come down to the $$$$ It's all appearances and
side/self promotions these days.

Putting these sets back out in packing that is specifically marked as
'Reissue' should virtually eliminate any problems of value.  Change the
colors of the old sets?  Sure why not, nothing is set in stone.  Some
changes might even be considered improvements.

As for affecting values of the existing sets... well, the only people
making money on these are folks selling them on Ebay!  LEGO has nothing to
loose, everything to gain by doing this.  I would just as soon pay the
exact same amount of money (or less) for a reissue set in a store, than
haggle about it on Ebay.

Regards,
Allan
