The new steam engine LEGO Trains sets can be bought in several colors but
since we are talking about rereleasing old LEGO sets, I think that people
should choose whatever colors that they want for their sets but in a
relistic frame of mind, that would cost the LEGO Company millions of dollars
to commit such an idea into action so we are left with what LEGO gives us so
if you want to pay more money for custom sets then get a second occupation
or go to a technical school.
I also believe I had made an arguement in the Space section of Lugnet about
rereleasing Blacktron and Space Police sets in the colors of either version,
such as receiving an Allied Avenger in the Blacktron I colors or a Renegade
in the Blacktron II colors or receiving set 6984 in Space Police II colors
or 6986 in Space Police I colors. I believe that since LEGO has already
made these parts that it would not be too difficult for such an action to
occur in the LEGO Company.

P.S. LEGO Space needs to be reinstated because Rock Raiders, although a
good set, can not hold the LEGO Space universe forever and those transparent
LEGO Bricks in the Belville sets would be very good in LEGO Space sets.
