Which retired set should be re-released next?

I know its not up there but i'd like to see the big bang lounge released again..

Or Ewok village.

I'd definitely say the Eiffel Tower. Not sure if this has to do with me being part French.

I get that a lot of people wanted to get it, but I don't think the Haunted House is logically a candidate for rerelease- at least, not for a few years now. It came out fairly recently, fore for one; more recently than the others, and it's debatable if it even qualifies because it wasn't a Creator set. In terms of structure, we haven't seen a huge detailed-exterior dollhouse like it before or since, so I see the appeal, but I wonder if the company would ever consider it.

Café Corner would be a great choice for them. Even if they never rereleased another modular, it would be a great tribute to the theme and make a lot of collectors happy.

I hope that 10182 can be re-produced. Because I didn’t have enough money to buy in 2007, 10182 had sold out. The point is that our country did not introduce and sell 10182 at all. :(

Im guessing it would be the Emerald Night. LEGO could over charge for that one and have no issues, and I doubt much needs to be done in the way of design or changes.
The issue with Market Street and Green Grocer is design features, or lack thereof IMO.

I voted for Imperial Flagship. Although Emerald Night and Super Chief were ones I'd also consider.

Judging by the scale of the current re-release id say Eiffel Tower, but it looks very blokey for a 3000+ piece set. I assume the idea of a re-release is its 99% the same, rather than as it could be better with a few newer pieces added or changed.......

Imperial Flagship! All these pirates and no one to oppose them....

I voted for the Santafe train because it would be a hot seller in the United States

A list of sets I would enjoy building! I voted for Medieval Market Village.

Would like to see loads of sets re-released due to either not having them myself or wanting improved sets but the set I’d like to see the most is the 10030 star destroyer. Ooh baby...

10177 Boeing 787 Dreamliner, 10181 Eiffel Tower, 10182 Café Corner, 10185 Green Grocer, 10190 Market Street, and 10193 Medieval Market Village were the ones I liked of this list but I ended up going for the 10193 Medieval Market Village. The number of minifigures and accessories is was made it stand out to me. I would guess that it would be more unlikely for Lego to re-release one of the Creator Expert Modular Buildings than one of the others.

None?!

If the Boeing Dreamliner got streamlined instead of blocky and could fit lots of minifigs and cargo. Or had a passable number of microfigs...

Emerald Night for one simple and totally self-serving reason: it’s the only one on the list I don’t already own!

I voted Emerald Night Shyamalan, but would like to see it reissued maybe with a colour swap to a new palette with a new name and maybe few cosmetic changes, and/or with extra carriages that can be purchased separately.

(There's a lot of others I'd want to see reissued if I didn't already own, especially the Imperial Flagship, but I held back on purchasing Emerald Night because of the lack of an easy way to buy extra carriages. If I were voting on the basis of not owning any of these sets, I'd go with Imperial Flagship)

I know alot like buildings, but I still think imperial flagship.
All youll ever see is buildings rereleased need something different before they get stuck in their ways

10194 Emerald Night is the only one that interests me, therefore I voted for it.

Such a shame that SW sets were not included (could have a second poll) nut I was torn between Haunted House and Medieval Market as I know a lot of people want them but ended choosing Haunted House.

Clear vote for HH, it would be a smart move for tlg, since could primarily stock early fall and heavily in US. Just like the Winter Village sets returning around now for some months of sales. That would mean announcement leading up to summer next year.

It is also the set least likely to substitute for another, as the plain modulars might do (imho). And it fits with several seasonal sets popping up again this year, testing the volume.

Emerald Train for me!

I voted for the Sante Fe Superchief but I’d prefer it receive some significant upgrades and it would also need to include its full consist, which originally was sold as separate components. At least three cars would be preferable. We haven’t had a new Creator train since the orange train and I’d like to see this one return.

None of them. 928, or a slight update of as many of the parts are still in production but in a slightly different colour.

Unfortunately, my candidates are not present in this poll. Howeverr, my pick from this poll would be 10177 Boeing 787 Dreamliner, not only because this set is the one that stood out the most to me, but also because I think its design looks the most acceptable for its age.

OK, I know re-releases of (especially older) Technic sets would be prone to numerous updates, but then still... What about 8285 Tow Truck from 2006 for example, or 8275 Motorized Bulldozer from 2007?!

But let's leave it there. I voted for the Imperial Flagship cause it's least More-Of-The-Same imo!

I have not bought much Lego this year (a few small sets eyed up for Christmas) but Emerald Night would be a definite buy, if not multiple buy for me.

The French citizen that I am says 10181 Eiffel Tower!

I would rather have lego release new sets of that magnitude... or a renewed (real) castle theme, that would be nice. Or at least completely re-designed re-scaled versions of the sets to be re-released. I don’t like these 99% re-releases and I don’t think killing the secondary market is the way to go...

Please allow multiple selections?

I go for Emerald Night ... But I see the chance very little. EN was designed to use a Power Functions XL motor. The new Powered Up does not know such a motor jet. And controlling the M motor from the Batmobile set with the Bluetooth remote doesn't behave like a train head wants it: to drive, you need to push the button permanently. Hopefully the Powered Up stuff becomes more flexible in 2019.

Second concern: train windows and glasses. We just see the train doors (without glass?) in some city and friends sets these days. But there hasn't been any set with the classic train windows and glasses since EN. I hope LEGO proves me wrong, but this is very unlikely.

personnellement j'ai voté pour nuit d’émeraude, mais j'avoue que green grocer, café corner et la tour effel me ferai autant plaisir.

In my opinion set that needs to be re-released is the 10020 set Santa Fe Super Chief.

I cant vote. Its too hard. I missed out on Emerald Night and Santa Fe Super Chief, both of which I really want, but I also would like to see Green Grocer and Imperial Flagship rereleased too. And Medieval market village!

@Hanskep: Not really an either-or situation. It's not as if the designers who would ordinarily be working on new sets just get extra vacation days when the decision is made to re-release a set, or like the overall number of new sets has decreased since LEGO started introducing occasional re-releases.

@GarethMoore Agreed. :)

I voted Emerald night. But I really only want some carriages.

I voted the Emerald Night, as it’s the set on this list I would want the most.

Was torn between Imperial Flagship and Cafe Corner...had to go with Cafe. It was close

There is a difference between which one SHOULD be the next one vs which one WOULD most likely become the next one. I’d say Eiffel Tower is most likely and while I like it, I’d like to see it reworked. So it isn’t the one I would want the most to return.

I peronsally think the best candidates out of this group would be the Boeing 747 Dreamliner and the Eiffel Tower, because the parts are not very rare and most are probably still in production. The Haunted House would be good too but I think it is too recent compared to others, and LEGO would have to remake any of the minifigure parts. I voted for the Boeing 747 Dreamliner not because I don't like the Eiffel Tower (I actually love it and have thought about Bricklinking it) but because it would be something not many people would be expecting, like the Taj Mahal and the Vestas Wind Turbine.

Green Grocer please! Market street and cafe corner are relatively easy to scrap together but those sand green pieces are outrageous on the aftermarket

Virtually all the options are modulars so I voted for the Medieval Market Village. That wouldn't be Creator Expert though

Cafe Corner/Market Street/Green Grocer are the obvious choice. Jamie Berard stated that most Modular fans started with the Fire Brigade or Pet Shop and the sets go for a huge premium on Bricklink. Moreover, CC is in dire need of a revamped interior.

Cafe Corner with interior for sure! It's the first modular so it should be re-released first, then followed by the Green Grocer/Market Street, etc (with better interiors).

I believe many of these sets have very good and different reasons to be re-released, but I think the Eiffel Tower would be a pretty good choice to be the next one:

- It still has a "bricky", classic LEGO charm in line with the Taj Mahal.
- The set is 11 years old, but it remains iconic and desirable.
- It's more impressive and detailed than its architecture theme sibling.
- It would bring a sense of wonder and nostalgia for adults, and an impressive feeling for kids (kids love to build towers for some reasons...)

I would see it well in display at the LEGO Store as a main attraction. But like I said, most of these sets still have good reasons to come back!

@CopperTablet: Slight counterpoint: Cafe Corner in particular used long-retired parts in a lot of places where their nearest current equivalent would not function as effectively (namely the 1x4x5 front door, the old style 1x8x2 arch that could accept studs underneath, and the new version of the ski without finger hinges). So more than the interior would need to be revamped to release it today.

Also, think about just how many more people bought Fire Brigade than any of those three (Among Brickset users, the number of people who own Fire Brigade is around 380% more than the number who own Market Street, 235% more than the number of people who own Cafe Corner, and 86% more than the number of people who own Green Grocer — despite Green Grocer being bigger than Fire Brigade, costing the same, and having at least a partially furnished interior.

It's fair to assume that the first three modulars might have been more popular with interiors, but at the same time, how do we know that's the only thing that held them back from achieving that sort of popularity? Could it be that those designs just didn't appeal to people as much as subsequent buildings? While the more specific designs (particularly distinctly American-inspired ones like Fire Brigade, Palace Cinema, Detective's Office, and Downtown Diner) have been criticized by many AFOLs for "not fitting the look of MY city", it's possible that buyers in general are more drawn to these more particular-looking designs on their own merits, rather than just as an afterthought to achieve the abstract satisfaction of completing a series.

I voted for Imperial Flagship, I only really cared about the Re Release of; HH, EN, IF, MMV. Modular's aren't to my taste and never liked the style of that Eiffel Tower.
But I would love to see the Maersk Container Train become available again.

3450 Statue of Liberty and the early modulars.

Medieval Market Village, Haunted House, Imperial Flagship and so on and so on... This list can easily skyrocket :P

GG and Imperial Flagship, but only because of selfish reasons, as I already own Emerald Night and Haunted House :)

Y no Model Team? I really liked those sets. :( I took Santa Fe but I am more interested in cars and trucks.

I voted Emerald Night since the sets I actually interested in are not in the list. But this train looks very nice!
6980: Galaxy Commander would be interesting too. I would buy it first day it would be available.
The SW Blockade runner is also high on my list.

As a proud owner of the imperial Flagship, the set that got be back in to Lego, i'd prefer not to see it return. Another ship to go with it would be great. I selected the Eiffel tower as it would display very nicely

I voted for the Haunted House with the Imperial Flagship as a close second choice.

Has to be the Haunted House. Gutted I didn't pick this up at the time and so desperately need it :) Could be re-branded as a seasonal Creator set, but I think Lego could make a few changes to up the quality to today's standards, especially in terms of the interior detailing.

Saying that, the Lego Ideas submission for the Addam's Family Mansion (https://ideas.lego.com/projects/10fc83f1-dcdd-4472-9db3-9a7b2aa3d88c) would have made a great substitute. It's just not getting the votes though.

6399

I voted for Emerald Night. I wanted to vote for Santa Fe. I was dissuaded from doing so because we might not get other cars for the Santa Fe.

Green Grocer--although I'd also happily buy either of the two train sets.

3450 Statue of liberty - 2000 (New > 3000€)
10181 Eiffel Tower - 2007
10182 Café Corner - 2007
10185 Green Grocer - 2008
10190 Market Street - 2007

The Medieval Market!! I missed that one and would love to see it return!

ATSF F-unit definitely!

No 10040 BSB? :-|

To be honest I would buy most of listed. Voted for CC.

Where’s the Maersk train?

7189 Mill Village Raid, with an extra 2 or 3 goats!

Voporak.

I was really hoping for 497 Galaxy Explorer! That is my "Holy Grail" set that I've been wanting since I was a kid and wrote to LEGO asking if there was some way I could still buy it, even though they didn't produce it anymore. I'll never forget the kind handwritten letter I received in reply, basically stating "nope! Nice try kid. But we still have a lot of other cool space sets you can buy." Of all the wonderful sets (they are all gems) listed to choose from I'm very torn. I missed out on the first several years of Modular buildings due to only collecting SW after awakening from my Dark Ages. I'd also love to see Eiffel Tower, although agree it could be more streamlined and revamped than a direct re-release would allow. Those trains were beautiful and if available now would happily be my first of the theme, yet I'd want to buy several individually sold add on carriages... tough call indeed. I'd like to say Green Grocer but am currently working on a proper modular grocery store for my city, so Café Corner it is I suppose.

Well, none of the ones in the poll but there are 3 non-UCS star wars sets I'd still like to get my hands on but at the same time am not too worried about a re-release cause they'll surely come some day. And those are the Classic Imperial Star Destroyer, Republic gunship and a Blockade Runner.

Another vote for 928/497 here. And while we're at it, 6990 Futuron Monorail.

With respect to the poll, both Emerald Night and the Super Chief are on my wish list and I don't expect them ever to be fulfilled unless there were a re-release, so I'd go for those (I didn't gain an appreciation for trains until recently).

The most desirable of these choices are Santa Fe and Emerald Express. Lego needs to return to this great series. The modern Trains are nice but the older Trains are what rules.

Café corner.

I missed the initial submittal, but 10224 -Town Hall had the briefest of time on the shelves and is my most wanted set. That being said, 10190 - Market Street was the first of the modern modular buildings that started a new level of Town buildings that had back walls and higher expectations on details. I'd like to see it reissued in new colors so those with the original could place both in their cities nicely.

We certainly need a new blockade runner, with at significant number of rebel soldiers with the funny helmets to re-enact the initial A New Hope scene (and ending of Rogue One)

I can't say that I care about this poll in any way, shape or form. I had the opportunity to buy all of these sets. The ones that I wanted I own. The ones that I didn't I don't own. Nothing has changed. Would I buy a re-release of a set a I already own without some sort of substantial change? Probability not. Would I buy a re-release of a set a I already pass on because I wasn't interested in the first? Absolutely not.

If there were some substantial changes I would much more likely to buy this updated set. I guess 10182 Café Corner would be the most likely of those.

Tough one. I chose Imperial Flagship over Medieval Market Village because I feel that I could recreate the village more easily.

I'd love to see both Monster Fighters and Castle Medieval/Fantasy come back in some form.

Any of the modulars, Haunted House, and Medieval Market and loved to see remade purely to see the secondary market come back to reasonable prices.

Voted cafe corner. The eBay prices for it are insane and it was always the modular I wanted the most

After Bricklink'n the (6) rare mast pieces of the Imperial Flagship for about $25-30 each, I'll feel Lego should re release all these popular sets that the fans want. I would rather my money go to the Lego Group instead of some greedy seller on the secondary market.

@Phathead I read that but Cafe Corner is in the poll so it's relevant. The point is, it would be better if they include an interior rather than just an exact re-release.

Maybe you should have included the option: "lego should not re-release any sets, but instead focus on making new, innovative and cool products"

Although that's not entirely my opinion, I'd be interested how many people will vote for that.

@TWP: That's kind of a leading answer since it imparts a false premise (that the existence of re-releases somehow means fewer new, innovative, and cool products).

Would also like to see the Santa Fe Train Cars re-released with the Super Chief.

I'm voting for the Imperial Flagship...after Destiny Bounty I'd quite like to add more ships to the collection, but with prices as they are on the second hand market that's not going to happen!

I voted for the medieval market village simply because I love anything medieval. However, it was definitely a close one between this and the imperial flagship because both are great sets in my mind and I didn't get a chance to get either.

I voted for the imperial flagship but imagine if they re released some cmf series

I voted for Eiffel Tower -- almost any of these would be welcome, but the Tower is the one I'd most likely buy!

@Aanchir:
And yet they also have a limit on the number of new elements that can be in play each year. Each rerelease may lock up several of those slots and may affect what other sets are released, or how they are designed. It's not an unlimited well where the only limit on what and how many sets are available each year is how many times you feel like hoisting the bucket.

More specifically, each theme apparently gets a fixed number of slots, so the more of these rereleases that come out under the Creator or Creator Expert banners, the less fluid their options are for generating new sets, while other themes may only positively impacted. If a big rerelease puts a retired element back into play, anyone else can run with it without having to burn a slot to buy it back into production, meaning they can then save that slot and use it on a different element.

Given that these sets would have been designed when a different spread of sets was in play, I actually have to wonder how much the Q Element ratio has changed, and if it has increased or decreased over what it was when the original set debuted.

Town Hall

3450 - Statue of Liberty

Skull eye schooner needs to be on the radar.

Flagship got my vote, but I'm pirates all the way.

I'm amazed that my holy grail, the 10196 - Grand Caroussel, isn't in this list.

I have no interest in any of the sets in the poll. It does not make sense at all not to include the SW sets... The only two sets I would like to see re-released are the Super Star Destroyer and the Tantive IV.

Please bring back the monorail sets. New or retired would be fine with me.

Nothing... Nothing should be remade. They retired for a reason.

If something gets "remade" it should be different from the original and not just updating some bricks IE cloud City and betrayal at cloud City

I think the Eiffel Tower needs a redesign, not a re-release. Feels like they could make such a better version now.

The Lego Technic tumbler.

The Monorail sets and should be remade.
Set 10030 - Imperial Star Destroyer also
but they all included "old" gray parts so this will not be possible probably.

From the purposed:
10020 Santa Fe Super Chief - but also Santa Fe Cars 10022 & 10025 (same problem with old gray)
10177 Boeing 787 Dreamliner
10194 Emerald Night

I think a lot on the list would benefit from a redesign rather than a straight re-release.
Emerald Night - from what i’ve read the wheels can lock up when it reverses.
Imperial Flagship - the front is a fragile and could do with a redesign.
Eiffel Tower - in my opinion a complete overhaul with modern pieces would improve it’s look.
Cafe Corner and Green Grocer - I find it hard to believe they’d re-release them without interiors so they’d appeal to a wider audience.

Despite already owning it, the Medieval Market Village is closest to a perfect set that couldn’t be improved in my opinion.

It would be awesome if they could only make the 7996 : Train Rail Crossing once again. That piece is out of price on the second hand market!!!

of course I want another imperial flagship even when I already have two 10210, but I would rather have a modified and better version of 10210 instead. Modular buildings are not my dishes, nor those star wars big sets, so it is a dilemma between emerald's night and the haunted house, from which I choose the latter one for it's just perfect with few drawback, 10228 is truly splendid and stunning.
PS. In agreement with @Timmy, the one set that I want the most, is always 6286 the skull's eye schooner, over any other lego set!!! already got two of the set but never have a brand new 6286 in sealed box, that's just my dream!!!

anything classic space. trains

You should see how excited the BIONICLE community is right now! With the re-release of old sets with new designs, channels like TTV are just all over which sets they'd like to see re-released!

You don't need a poll of a few members to know which sets are the most desired. Just look at the Wanted list of all members and you will have your list.

I would love to see the Monorail sets make a comeback. I've always wanted one. But for this poll, I picked my other favorite, the medieval market.

I would love a monorail, and can't afford the extremely high BrickLink prices. I love trains, so I went for the Emerald Night, but would have put the Santa Fe Super Chief as 2.

Man, tough decisions. Eiffel Tower wins by a little bit though.
