I’d like to see  huge Luxury Sailing Yacht

Not the dinky ones they have made , a big beautiful multi sail one
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

I'd like to see a return of the old school bonnets!



Why, oh why, did they not release more of these?! These would go so well with some historical sets. Not to mention they look so cute!  :'( I'd like to see more of the old Bedouins and normal sailors like they had a loooong time ago. I'd also like to see more Victorians to go with the wonderful, recent revival. There's probably a lot more I'd like to see. But this is it....for now.

I agree, those bonnets are beautiful! The color ones are currently available on ebay.de for between 40 (for a 'coloured in' one) and 65 Euro,  so the re-release of a white one would annoy a few sellers!

But what of the wallets? What would they say?

Kindergarten language rule prevents from repeating anything mine has to say on the subject.

My wallet is crying at the sight of these words. You think Western or Special Pluses and the like would give ample opportunity for their resurgence.

Yes, why don't they reuse old parts? Good point. Perhaps the moulds have deteriorated to the point of being unusable? A typical mould lasts for 100,000, I read on Wikipedia.

My first thought was that it was a mould issue, since it's been so long since it has appeared, but I have no idea about the economics of re-making a mould.
