I agree with Chris, I too want people to copy my work (if they really like it).
I have a lot of rare parts that would certainly drop in value if they were made
available again, but then I could build a building with black or gray 1x2x2
windows or low slope yellow corner bricks. If they produce rare parts again, I
will buy them in bulk. If they don't, then my buildings will remain unique, and
my rare parts will remain rare. I guess it is a win/win situation for me. But I
prefer to give others the opportunity that I had in the 1980's when I had the
rare LEGO parts market all to myself (or so I thought). And I seriously doubt
that TLC will make parts that no longer have a working mold (large spoked wheels,
older classic windows, etc).
