Two Ideas sets to get second lease of life

Brickset.com

Two retired Ideas sets, 21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V and 21313 Ship in a Bottle, are being re-released on 1st November.

Following rumours published on StoneWars yesterday, the Ideas team has confirmed that "The two sets are being re-launched due to popular demand, and as they had already left the market, we could not keep the original numbers. The agreements with the Fan Designers remain unchanged.

"Also: one of the new set numbers matches a fan designer’s birthday. They were both very involved in the process."

StoneWars states that the new numbers are 92176 NASA Apollo Saturn V rocket and 92177 Ship in a Bottle.

I know I’m probably the only person who cares about such things, but I don’t see why they assigned set numbers in the 92xxx range. Why not pick new ones in 21xxx which is how the other Ideas sets are numbered?

Maybe setting a range for rereleases? Come on Green Grocer 92178.

Or they have so many Ideas sets coming that they needed a bigger number space :) Pretty random place to start though.
