While I dmit to being a bit disturbed at the idea of substitutions being
made (wheels, stickers or otherwise) I understand the reasons why it may
have to be done. As for what set(s) should be done as Legends, I would

*This brings up the issue of the pre-minifig figures, both the
blank-head non-posable mini and the large bendyarm types. How can/should
they be handled? Current minifig body with blank heads, no arms and a
brick+plate for legs might work for the non-posable minis (or just use
minifigs?) As for the bendyarm figures, since the recent Arctic sets
used the arm segments and hand piece, the limiting factors appear to be
the shoulder brick, head (both mold and decoration issues with this
piece) and hair/hat pieces.
