I strongly disagree on the bad year problem. This year I got sets I never had the occasion to get, that is to say rebel ships.
I had no x-wing, no snowspeeder and no flacon (I still don't have it but it should come soon). I had no tatoine luke either, and more important : no obi wan.
I also missed the tie advanced.
So for you, yes it is a bad year, but for me, it is the best year ever. Life is just a question fo point of wiev.
And think about this : by selling classic ships; lgo might get new customer.
And 2004 is before 2005
And because of the release of the dvd + the release of episode 5, 2005 will hopefully be one of the best year. And thanks for the (one) $ you gave to eurobricks by clicking tonight :P
