(...) Well, I suppose technically, this is part of the July surprise. (...) I sincerely doubt this is old stock. They are re-releasing some older sets. Jimmy Park (23 years ago, 21-May-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle)

(...) It's too bad you didn't find one on clearance! They were being sold for $20 apiece or so in my state towards the end of their shelf life. (...) Don't let my sour post hamper your enjoyment of the set! I think that any of the large pirate ships (...) (23 years ago, 21-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) I'm afraid I have agree. I obtained the forklift, for example, as a discounted set sold as a Shop at Home Special. Why would Lego reintroduce a set in new packaging that it had to discount to get rid of in the USA??? Daniel (23 years ago, 21-May-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle)

(...) I suppose you could look at it like that, (personally, I don't own one, not because of design, but because I couldn't afford one at the time that they were generally available). What interests me (and probably most other Pirateers, new and (...) (23 years ago, 21-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Why aren't we going crazy? I think someone already has! Lego HAVEN'T dropped the Technic line and it IS on the website, if you know where to look. (23 years ago, 21-May-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle)

(...) Blaaagg! Why are they reissuing set 6289 Red Beard Runner? That was the final "large ship" in the line, and notorious for the poor design quality compared to earlier pirate ships. It'd make more sense for them to reissue one of the first (...) (23 years ago, 21-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)

Crazy? Perhaps a bit of an overstatement, but I'm excited to see those new (old) Pirate ships and that Technic front end loader! Lego has completely dropped the Technic line, its not on their website and only a tiny number are in the last catalog I (...) (23 years ago, 21-May-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle)

(...) I agree. During my dark ages I would still go into toy shops and while I didn't buy anything I seemed to have impeccable taste. The sets I would have bought were the pirate ships and original space shuttle launch pads sets. Sets which sell for (...) (23 years ago, 21-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)

Man, you have NO IDEA how crazy this is making me!!! I am freakin' out trying to figure out how to finance the new Potter line, part sets to buy from current stock, anticipation of new Star Wars and Castle, and NOW I have to concern myself with the (...)
