This is baseless. I suspect Lego's internal production lines are not exactly
primed for this. I.e. costs for putting together old Technic sets might be
very high, for all I know. Furthermore, Lego representatives have pointed
out on several occassions that the adult builders represent a tiny fraction
of their market. What you, me and a reduced number of other Technicheads
would buy is basically irrelevant. Not that I don't conmiserate, but to
think that Lego is obviously missing out is maybe awarding ourselves too
much importance in the grand scale of the Lego universe.
