Very cool! I'm looking forward to the LEGO Space Legends... how are
you determining which sets to re-release? Hint: The ratings on the
LUGNET set database would be one free source of market ratings.
Also, one issue which may be one reason LEGO has not done this before:
Many of the old sets use parts that are no longer made, such as the
old space helmets, or some of the "1x1 plate with thing sticking out
to the side" type pieces. Are these old pieces going to be replaced
with newer equivalents, or will LEGO drag out the old molds? Will
they be created using modern ABS or the older formula?

for LUGNET users who don't know of this, there is a members' rating chart..

(note: the Guarded Inn is the highest rated Castle set!) :-D
