Honestly, I don't think LEGO will re-release old sets... Most people won't
know that "set A" on the shelf is actually "4558 from 1991." Therefore,
there's not much of a point for LEGO to do something like that.
There may be others, but is 2150 the only set they re-released, even though it
was a different colour?
But I hafta admit, I'd love to see them re-release old sets too...
