Ah, I see. Thanks.

A MISB MIB? Thats pretty cool to hear exist today-but I can't help but feel
that that's kinda a waste. I can't keep MISB sets...one time I kept a set
MISB, and I had to put it in a hard to get and obscure place, and only after
weeks of intense meditation did I forget its location. If these steps arn't
taken, I am liable to spontaniously begin running through the house at
cat-like speeds until I am upon the sealed set, upon which I rip it open it
a beserker rage. Hmmm...I think this could quite go hand in hand with the
way you dislike the Legends. You are right about one thing, though (for
sure that we can all agree on). If Lego would simply produce quality sets
the way that they used to, we wouldn't need reissues.
I would certainly prefer it to Legends...something is missing with Legends.
That is, the rest of the theme. I like collecting specific themes (oy, you
should have seen me with Aquazone) and I think the only ones I'll have the
option to collect in a good while are Harry Potter etc.(aheh, I'm not doing
that). These days I actally miss 1998. At least then town lego existed.
I'd have a heart attack if a few Blacktron sets made it to TRU Wild
West/Pirate style.

Yes, you are probably right.
