I used Classic Space just as an example. It's a popular theme (& my personal
favorite), but it's just one possible idea. There are plenty other
themes/years that could get the same treatment. Town sets from the late
'80's-early '90's for example - lots of quality there.
And of course the number of parts in different themes varies quite a bit.
The trick would be to select themes or sub-themes that aren't too big, and
which include a high percentage of Legend-candidate sets.

Theme buckets would be AWESOME - and more easily implemented and marketed
than my proposal. I really dig the idea of varying the color/element mix to
keep things fresh.

Oooh! An epilogue - that's a rumour I'd not heard. It's clear that we're not
going to get Episodes VII-IX, but wrapping everything up in a single movie
is an intriguing idea.
