(...) I don't remember this falling out "rumor" category into "fact" category. The first person who said this, remind us why. LEGO didn't seem to have a problem introducing Insectoid sets the same year as the Star Wars sets, or the new town (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) Insectoids was running out the 2 year period. Spaceoprt is not space. Rock raiders is not space. The restriction sepcially restricts "spaceships" such as those found in the true space themes. -- Jonathan Wilson wilsonj@xoommail.com (URL) (24 years ago, 7-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) Perhaps RTL started it; someone posts a message, which is misread, etc. BTW, I totally disapprove Insectoids, Rock Raiders, and Arctic. They suck! Star Wars is far more promising, as it's one of the few unjuniorized themes, according to posted (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) You could stop whining and look at auctions or pages which sell pieces. Just a thought, you don't have to use it. Sure, Star Wars is a good product. And Space is a really cool theme to have around. I'm dissappointed that they aren't making it (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) Oh yes, they are good for parts. Go hit Target (if there's one in your area) TODAY and see if you can find any Star Wars sets on sale. They seem to be selling off the Y-wing and Tie set for about 40% off, and the Gungun Sub and Sith (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)
