I really love how this image looks. How can we get more updated images of classic
sets. I have several that I have been taking lately that I would be glad to
offer if needed.

As a rule, we only use official images for sets. This one was approved as an
exception, but I have moved it to the alternate slot.

We are currently looking to get larger / better images directly from the LEGO
Group for a lot of the older sets.

That is great to hear. I think they would sell better if we had quality photos
of each one. When I list these older sets I typically post my own pictures because
some of them are so poor.

I can’t wait for that!

Seeing as this was three years ago, any progress?
