(...) Hi. I think, the survey is nonsense. LEGO cannot produce any more legends, because the colors needed are no more available. Regards Ronald (20 years ago, 17-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general) !!

(...) I am not sure I agree. See (URL) which is rereleased as (URL) but in different colors. Arguably that's a case where LEGO produced a "legend", isn't it? I think to say that they cannot do it may not be a universally held opinion. I think the (...) (20 years ago, 17-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)

(...) I have to agree - if the colors aren't the same, or if the pieces are significantly different (like substituting 1x1 brick with headlight for 1x1 window, as noted earlier), then it's not a reissue, but a reinterpretation. $0.02 James Wilson (...)
