This actually was an attempt @ humor considering the last two months I have
spent more then I would have cared too..   There's an on going joke at my job.
My co-workers are waiting for the semi to drop off all the new stuff I bought.

It was so much better when I was a kid, I didn't have the money to spend so it
was more of a dream.. Now that I have some money I'm trying to make up for all
those, "hey Mom can you buy me some LEGO, PLEASE!!" heheh  I love it cause I am
really de-aging(is that a word?) myself.. I've gone from 27 to 13 in about 2
months and don't plan on going back anytime soon..

If I was really going to send a letter, I wouldn't pick out anything particular
I know my top personal choices are trains and technic.. I was a Huge TOWN and
Classic Space fan but, for some reason I gave it up for the other side of the
fence.. With all the recent juniorize crap that has been coming out I had a
really bad taste in my mouth.. Now with the legends and classics I'm going
crazy because everyone of them have been a favorite at some point in time.

As far as what would be next, I only have one more that I want. Like a few
other people, I want to see the 5571 come back to life.. I have one still in
mint box. I have been dying to open it but, want to keep it sealed because its
my favorite one and was given as gift. I've looked on ebay but its just not
worth it to go through it now if there is a slight chance of a reissue... Case
and Point the Metroliner and club car... I had two metroliners when they came
out but, missed the Club car..  So I hit Ebay over a year ago and got one for
150 bucks..  now I laugh at that because for 150 bucks I can get 3 to 4 of
them..

Oh well it was still money well spent!

Heheh,
Wayne

This is pretty much a sample letter just waiting to go to lego...

Dear LEGO Group...

Thank you for answering most of my prayers. I'm upping my Credit Card Limit
thanks to you!!  Yeppie!! Keep them coming!!! More trains and more Technic!!

Wayne, if you realy want to send this to Lego, I suggest you don't narrow
your request to trains and Technic alone. It should include the other great
themes to, such as before 1997 Town, before 1990 Space, early Port, Pirates,
Wild West and probably a few others that I don't mention now, other persons
may fill that in if they feel the need for that.

Greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

(...) I'm with you on this sentiment. I don't care about the perceived monetary value of a set. I want the parts! If they announced monorails coming back, I wouldn't shed a tear about the money I spent on mine. If they weren't worth their cost... I (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)
