Seems like TLC has Empire Stikes Back fever!

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 is new (not re-done) sets with the main goal is to squeeze more
money out of me for something I already have. I rather Lego put the man hours in
for new sets, not tinkering with old sets.

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 like King's Castle were on shelves for a long time. KC was
available for atleast 4 years maybe more because it was THE castle.  Black
Falcon fans are going to flame me (with their catapult!).

BTW, I like how the new MF design has bricks and plates instead of those big
round pieces.

(...) But which was replaced by the Black Monarch's Castle, which is quite obviously the King's Castle, redone with newer pieces (and a new color scheme). I've owned both for the past fifteen years, and I still prefer the redone set aesthetically. (...) (21 years ago, 14-Sep-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.dear-lego)
