The Legend idea was thrilling to me in June.  I've since had some time to
realize how bad it is, though.  Problems:

1)  Your mail-order-only / internet market is a bunch of older people like
me who already have five Galaxy Explorers and thirteen Yellow Castles or
whatever....why do we need yet another one in some ugly 2001 grey box with
no flap?  What is the point?

I hate to argue against a fellow AFOL, but I've collected since 1978 and I
have neither of the sets you mention.  In those younger years, I was lucky
to get one copy of a small or mid-size set in those themes.  So, my point
is, there are some in this forum who are in the market...


3)  I'm more interested in new sets designed in the classic theme.  I'm a
big Classic Space fan, and can illustrate how you could go about doing this
with some of my own designs of "Sets That Never Were" here:

Cool.

In exchange for my free consultation here today, I'll ask in exchange for a
job position designing your new Classic Space line.  I live in northern CT.  :-)

And I am in Western Mass, not a bad commute down I-91 to Enfield... I hope
you get the job, Dave, as I'd love to see new Classics myself.  The one
problem is, IIRC, TLC only designs new sets in Denmark... A bit more of a
commute for us...    =o    :)
