They already missed the golden opportunity to rerelease sets - they
could have rereleased the best of the classic space sets as "20th
anniversary sets."
The parents who were 8 years old when they first played with those
sets would want to buy them for their own 8 year olds.
The idea might work even better with 25th anniversary sets, depending
on how how long people wait before having children. It's not
too late to do this. (LEGO, take note and make hurried plans =)
