Yes, yes, the rumors are true!

We *will* be (re)issuing several "classic" sets later this year: three
Pirates items (Red Beard Runner, Armada Flagship, and Enchanted Island); two
Technic items (Pneumatic Front-End Loader and Forklift); the Octan Gas n'
Wash Express; and the Radio Control Racer.


Woohoo! I'll be ordering 1 of each, although I already own an 'original' Gas
n' Wash Express.

All of these items will be available exclusively through LEGO Shop At Home
in North America and Europe (with the exception of Germany, where they will
also be available at some retail locations). We will begin taking advance
orders for these classic sets in July for delivery in early September.

<snipped reasoning behind these sets>

I am glad to hear/read that this is again a 'global' release.

By the way, these classic items are *not* the "July Surprise" (and yes,
since you ask, there is indeed a July Surprise. And that's all you're going
to get out of me for now....)

I hope this clears up all that pesky speculation (and in a good way, I might
add).

Nah, you've just given us other things to speculate about. :-) We are like
that, we like to speculate about other 'classic' releases, the july-surprise
(will it be available all over the world?), etc. That's what LUGNET is all
about :-)

Play Well,

We will!

Keep up the good work and don't mind the (few) negative comments/posts you
see here. It's human nature to hope for the best and expect the worst. But I
must say, I am getting more and more positive about the Lego
Company/Group/Firm/Whatever! And my bank account seems to *not* agree with
me :-)
