Is it too early to start speculating on the August surprise? Personally I
haven't a clue. What is the most prized set next to the Guarded Inn that
could reasonably be reisued? I would be pleased by more classic castle
reissues but expect them to choose something from a different line.

And when will we be able to preorder the Legends line?

Since I barely missed it, I would like to see the 5571 available once again.
Was it ever available online?

Online directly from Lego? I dunno.

I did get mine online. France, they came from France.

Based on drool factor, my guess for August surprise is 8880 - Super Car.

Ya, France, that's it... but you didn't consume mass quantities like Stangl
did. :-) I think he got like 20-30 from Zanys around the US.

I dunno, are you its type?  (bah-dum-dum-tish)

But being dated by a joke isn't as much fun as dating Morgan Fairchild.
(Whom I've seen naked.)

Dunno. But it's old enough to be legal to date anyway, ne?

Hey, that's my wife you're talking about. My wife, Morgan Fairchild...
*whom* I've slept with. So knock it off.

(that Stangl, he sure is a Zany(tm) guy. But me and James(1) now, *we* are
Wild and Crazy guys!... and it isn't even Saturday Night) (2)

1 - "James and I" for the pedants playing at home.

2 - " Live from *NewWWW York!!* ... ... ... it's Saturday Night! Tonights
host is Lar, and tonights special guest is ... ... the hardest working man
in Legoland.castle: *JaaaaAAAAAaames Brown!!!!* ... <roar of applause>"

Cue commercial.....

Visit www.miltontrainworks.com for all your custom train model needs. WE are
**WAY** more expensive than those www.bricworx.com (3) guys. But you get
what you pay for, so visit today. And bring lots of cash. You'll need it.

operator "+")

3 - I cannot spell that name correctly on the first try, I always have to go
check.

Is it too early to start speculating on the August surprise? Personally I
haven't a clue. What is the most prized set next to the Guarded Inn that
could reasonably be reisued? I would be pleased by more classic castle
reissues but expect them to choose something from a different line.

And when will we be able to preorder the Legends line?

You mean something like "here's 200 bucks, keep putting in an order for one
each of whatever comes out (so I get it in the first shipment and can amaze
my friends) till the 200 runs out and then get back to me for more" ??

That would be sort of nifty. Ok, very nifty. But logistically it might be a
bit challenging to implement. Only a bit, though. :-)

One time I gave a guy an extra S@H Lego Catalog, he Called up and requested
that a new set be sent each month to his Son who was into Trains. He told me
he just gave them his C C and they charged it each month and sent a
Different set each month.

Somthing I have thought about doing. But of course somtimes Bulk is better
for specific needs, so I never did.
