| (2 URLs) - After moderation Backstory: I had planned to forego any Lego purchases in 2004 due to my boycott of bley. I was happy about the new parts and colors, but thought they should be additions rather than substitutions for the older greys. (...) (20 years ago, 27-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| Dave, this re-color looks so cool! I wish the company had replaced the orange with dark red. Even better if they also replaced the sand blue with tan, or even keeping the sand blue, and giving us tan instead of black. (20 years ago, 28-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) -snip- Dave, I first saw the Titan XP fully built at Rob Limbaugh's house. His son built it and I was impressed by the shape and form of the Mecha. (except for the antenna sticking up on the head!) Then my girl friend built it while I was (...) (20 years ago, 28-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Hi Dave, this is sure the best looking Titan XP I saw up to now. Really nice. I would've liked to see it with the sand blue replaced by tan too. But i can understand that you now take the parts for new own creations. I sorrowfull have to do (...) (20 years ago, 28-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Hi Kyle! Thanks for the comments! Personally, I would have loved to replace the Orange with Dark Blue for a Dk Blue/Sand Blue combo. Alternately, I wouldn't have minded Lego putting out the Dark Red variant with Sand Red highlights. I don't (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Hi Marco! Keep on building. Use what you've got available to you. That's what prompted me to re-color the 4508. I knew I had the Dark Red to pull it off, so I went for it. As long as you've got a good way to keep your creations archived via (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Eric, thank you for the kind comments. This is one model I felt Lego did a fantastic job on...except for the color. I'd love to see others trying out a color swap like I did, but I'm not sure how many possible choices there are...I know there (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| Cool Dave! I hadn't appreciated that you replaced all the parts the same. I figured you just used something close. Awesome man. We should get a bunch of these and just tack on our own color schemes, could be fun to see waht people come up with. Like (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| Well, Mark, I did take a few small liberties, but I kept the overall 'feel' of the mech the same. I didn't want to change the shape unless I absolutely had to. I like the 'multiple variations' idea. I've been tempted to pick up a couple more and (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
