(...) I'm not saying I disagree with you Larry, but to play devil's advocate... While 2150 is basically the same model as 4554 in a different color, LEGO never marketed it as a re-release as 4554, did they? If not, it's not *quite* the same thing as (...)

There is no such thing as a Legend, can't be a Legend if the colors are not the same as the original. Making minor changes, due to part availability, is one thing but changing the color of the parts is something completely different. I shudder to (...)
