(...) I rather they have 'New Set' fever. I am not liking this pattern of old sets re-done. I already have the MF, I already have the snowspeeder, I already have the X-Wing.... I do not want or need different versions of the same set. What I do want (...) (21 years ago, 12-Sep-03, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Yes, that is true. BUT..... I rather have parts from a new set, not an old set with a slightly new spin on it. This MF among others is not a new set, its a old set with a "new and improved" label on it. I just hope this is a road Lego is not (...) (21 years ago, 12-Sep-03, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I agree partially. I really like new sets. Does it seem like they stop producing successful sets too soon? I think so. MF is a flagship set of the theme that could have been continuously offered until the license expired. Back in the 80's sets (...) (21 years ago, 13-Sep-03, to lugnet.starwars)

This trend was discussed here about a year ago. At the time, most Star Wars Lego fans agreed that to continue the line, Lego would be forced to release revamps near the end of the license. There was much optimistic speculation, foremost of which (...) (21 years ago, 13-Sep-03, to lugnet.starwars)

In fact, a good redesign that improves the look and feel of the model to the point where I, as a consumer, would want to buy (...) (21 years ago, 14-Sep-03, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Joining in the discussion a bit late here, but you've hit it on the head here. These new sets show off Lego's new set style (which is much better, IMO) and are far more interesting, I think, from a design standpoint. Anyways, just my two (...) (21 years ago, 14-Sep-03, to lugnet.starwars)
