(...) I both agree and disagree with you Kevin. I think the reissues are an incredibly good idea. The music industry has been doing this successfully for years.

There's a load of reactions here already, so I'll keep it short. I't very hard to give an overall verdict on replacement parts. I mean, almost invisible changes, like the minifig heads, would be hard to object to. In fact, even the 2x4 basic brick (...) (23 years ago, 20-Oct-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

How about a book of legends? Reprint the old contruction manuals from sets in the 60s - 80s in one large book.
