Yes, I would agree...the legends and re-issues are all super. They are the
ONLY new sets (other than a few Star Wars and Harry Potter sets) that I have
purchased since '97.
LEGO, are you listening? Like many others, I have spent thousands of $$ in
the last 5 years on LEGO and only, I'd say, 5% of that has gone to LEGO.
That's because what we have to choose from is mostly junk.
And this is a pet peeve with me...please go back to the flap-and-tray boxes
for larger sets!!! The current boxes are awful. That horrid thick corrguated
cardboard with punchtabs is about the worst possible container for LEGO sets.
I would *gladly* pay a couple extra dollars for a better box. What would the
extra cost be for the next Legend...say either Main Street or the Yellow
Castle or whatever...to be in a flap-and-tray box instead of these lame
thick corrugated boxes? $2.00 extra? $3.00 extra? It would be more than
worth it to me.
Similarly the smaller sets should go back to being released in the
double-flap-and-tab design of the early '80s. Those were the only small set
boxes in which you could effectively store the pieces without using a
zip-lock baggie or something similar. Again, the extra cost for a MUCH
better box would be well worth it.
I know that there will be people who will say "LEGO is already too
expensive" but those people ALWAYS complain about price and probably
wouldn't be happy unless every set cost a dollar. :)
