I'd like to see a 6985 Cosmic Fleet Voyager, or a Message Intercepter Base
or even the original 918 become a Space Legend! Why does Lego even continue
to bother with those new SW sets?

In my opinion, I think SW is getting kind of old. Most of the new items
landing on the shelves of TRU, Zellers, etc, all seem to be "accessory
sets", or what I like to call prop sets. The only purpose they really serve
is to re-enact a scene that lasts anywhere from ten minutes, to about ten
seconds from the SW series.

Of course, I'm sure most of .space wants to see a Space legend come sometime
in the near future. How bad could releasing a Space Legend damage the SW
line? I mean, come on! They don't sell Legends in stores anyway, so how
could that affect the sales of the SW line?

However, I hope to see something soon, cuz Castle, Trains, Town, heck, even
Pirates sets and Wild West have Legends (actually, pirates and Wild West
have re-releases, but no real difference), and Space seems to be one of the
few themes, besides Aquazone, to get a glance of recognition by the Lego
design team dealing with re-releases or Legends. I'm not complaining, or
anything, I just want to see a new decent space set made by Lego, because
right now, my only source of space is either ebay, or lugnet.market. IMO

Don't disregard me as ranting, think more of it as proving a good point.
Hey! I like space, okay! :)

Just my two brickz...

(...) I was weaned on Classic space, and I'll be extremely disappointed if Lego abandons the SW line without producing an AT-AT and an Imperial Star Destroyer. As much as I want a new 928, I want an AT-AT and ISD more. (...) The line is already (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)
