My two bricks? Some guy in germany was cleaning out a warehouse somewhere
and finds some dozens of boxes of a couple of particular older sets that

will we do with them? Brighter manager says, oh! let's re-box them so they
look like new sets and send them out  to stores again.

aaarr.. sounds like lego tastes like  lego but baby it's discontinued!
Maybe this is lego's way of testing the water ,With Germany being one of
lego's large markets that is why it's only on that German site ,maybe before
bring out bigger more popular sets only to find ,no one wants them because
there one of lego's favourite sets not the peoples, but with the way lego is
done business I could understand them trying to make a quick buck on
discontinued sets.

(...) I strongly suspect you're right, because (1) they're not that great/popular, and (2) they're not that old. A set that only dissappeared from the shelves in the last year or two can hardly be a classic, can it?? (...) Now this is a good idea (...)
