Since everybody else has, I'll give my opinion:
I think this is great. We now have a chance to get great sets with highly
inflated prices currently. I do not care if the castle or space helmet is
slightly different; I do not think it matters. I do not think these sets
are 'worse' in any way, if you want originals, get them. They probablly
will be at lower prices anyway.
As for the sets themeselves: WOOHOOO!
I voted for the Battrax. Always loved blacktron... but I wouldn't mind if
Main Street or the Barracuda win, either.
As for which I think shall win:
Probablly battrax. Keep in mind that the majority of voters will be kids.
I think (being one myself) that kids would go for the battrax, it has the
limited 'cool' qualities that kids these days would like. After battrax, a
tie between main street (for those people who want town back) and the Black
Seas Barracuda, because of its beauty and size.
Anyway, its a win-win situation.
My opinion...

| Working for LEGO Direct is always fun, but every once in a while a project comes along that just makes me giddy when I get to come here and announce it. Today, such an announcement is made. We would like to invite you all to choose our next LEGO (...) (25 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.lego.announce) !!
