Well...A search the library of useless information shows the following info:
The "Dark Shark" [what most people mistakenly refer to as the "Black Seas
Barracuda"]:
1989: released, unsure of price
1990: $199.95
1991: $239.95
1992: $239.95
re-released:
2002: $149.95
Italian Restaurant [mistakenly referred to as "Breezway Cafe"]
1990: $39.95 [released in this year]
1991: $47.95
re-released:
2002: $34.95
Eagle Crest Castle:
1986: $49.95 [released in this year]
re-released:
2002: $74.95
Guarded Inn:
1986: $28.50 [released in this year]
re-released:
2002: $39.99
So what does this tell us?
Well, probably nothing, but based on these prices it's probably better to
vote for either post 1990 sets or non-castle sets for re-release...and even
if you don't, at least the re-release prices aren't too extravagent, so
maybe just buy re-releases of sets and wait for the re-release of any new
set to save money :P
Oh yes...and it shows that LEGO use the Seppo names for sets instead of the
names they originally gave the sets.

[waiting for the re-release of 7124: flash speeder...or another reasonably
priced set with brown cap...the Brictorians need them :)
And who will be really dissapointed if we miss out on Adventurers in the
orient or starwars [mini-fig or nano-fig scale]...and if we get basketball
instead I'll be REALLY Ticked off.

| (...) Just out of curiousity, how do you know what the *original* names are? Or, how do you know that the "seppo" (as you so charmingly call it) names *aren't* the original names? I'd argue that many times, they are... for example all the Star (...) (22 years ago, 11-Oct-02, to lugnet.loc.au)
