I was talking with someone in a Toystore of all places about Lego trains and we
got into a discussion about some of the older trains. While I was driving home
it hit me. While everyone here is a loyalist to lego I want to get everyone's
input as a WHAT IF?
What if Lego went back and put back into the mix limited editions of past
Train Sets. How many of you out there would buy them? I'm sure everyone would
probably buy them.
Has anyone thought of a petition or something? If I get enough response I would
be willing to get one going. While this might be one of those things that
fizzle out it was just an Idea.

| (...) Wayne, to be perfectly honest, I wouldn't buy them. Or I should say, I would buy them if the price was right (50% off), just like I would any other set marked down like that.

| I have to agree with Larry P and others that Lego could better the AFOL train market by a) Issuing new train designs that are better than the current assortment b) Releasing a generous range of train parts through Lego Direct The idea of reissued (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)
