| (...) Ya. But just look at it as "do I want the enjoyment of having it nowish enough to pay X for it" rather than the other way... if I stress out for 1/2 hour about the decision, that's a cost too... So stop worrying and buy buy buy. Or sell sell (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle, lugnet.lego.direct)

| I think re-releasing sets will drive me crazy for a different, but related, reason... I'm less worried about the value of the sets I own going down, but I think this will make it much harder for me, as a buyer, to figure out how much to pay for an (...)

| Hey Y'all: What is a good number of sailors or soldiers to have for a large ship, if it were around 6 midsection elements long? Also what exactly are the three ranks lego is trying to represent? And how many minis of each rank should one have on a (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)

Perhaps they will have to change this procedure in the future! (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.general, lugnet.pirates, lugnet.town)

| (...) Those who paid $800 for a single set (I have) will still have their Lego... so what's the worry? I think in the long run it will be good. We may see the return of parts which we never thought we'd see again... and some we do not want to see (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle, lugnet.lego.direct)

| Don't get me wrong I really hope that they are reissuing old early 80's sets. I want a guarded inn and a large army of black falcons. I'm just giving reasons why people may not be going crazy.
