  Re: Announcing new Legend!
 
(...) It was me who mentioned it. Well, i have this set and it has a lot of light grey in it, and some is very visible indeed (although major visible colors are red and blue as you said). But if it doesn't matter to you, that's ok. But the point of (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, FTX)
 
  Re: Announcing new Legend!
 
(...) Awesome! One of my brothers got this set when we were growing up, and it has always been a favorite of mine. I look forward to purchasing one in the future. The price also seems very reasonable. Thanks LEGO! As someone mentioned for the (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, FTX)
 
  Re: Announcing new Legend!
 
Cool :D Not that I am the sort to buy that sort of set... but I think it is cool anyway. Perhaps that makes my opinion worth less, or something. Michael ps. I hate new purple! ;) (22 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)

(...) Hi Jake, By "legend" you mean it will appear on the same true colors as the first, right? If not, I don't see the point of "legends" anymore, nor i do find the word "legend" suitable. Best regards, Paulo Renato (22 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, FTX)  
 
  Announcing new Legend!
 
Taking a break from reading the 250+ color change posts, I just got the green light to announce a new Legend! And it's ....drum roll please.... 5541 - (URL) Model Team Hot Rod>! The Hot Rod first raced into the hands of LEGO collectors in 1995, and (...)

  The most invisible "good thinking" ever seen...
 
(...) Well, if there was good thinking involved, nobody managed to notice it so far. Did anyone see those hoards of kids streaming in the toy shops, screaming "YES! I want those new colours!!!"? If the reasons were that good, why don't they present (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Reasons for the color change
 
(...) I think the color change was made because TLC tries to cut production costs. Probably they now use recycled plastic to produce the bricks. They just didn't manage to reach the same color again within a reasonable effort. Grey is the most (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: Jake did good Thanks!!

  Reasons for the color change
 
Like many others, I am curious about why the colors were changed. I am prepared to accept whatever answer is given, even if it is one that I don't think makes a good case for the change. Some of the reasons that have been given officially (correct (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general)
