Sweet! I love that line of Model Team stuff!! That is a good set to release as a Legend, good for parts or as an "Executive Display" piece. Awesome! I'd love to see some more Legends surface, be they Castle or not. :o) -Aaron- (22 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, FTX)

| | Parts Colour Availability Equality

Whilst other threads focus on old and new colours (please keep those out of this one), there is a general issue of parts availability that I think should be addressed in the marketing strategy of the Lego company. Many of us like to buy parts in (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)

It is already confirmed. This set is already available to some in Europe and it contains new grey parts. The reason you only find the old colors available at PaB is that Lego is trying to get rid of them. Once they are gone then the new colors can (...)

Hi Jake, Here are a couple of possible ways to go. 1. Create theme buckets in old colors: "Classic-Space Bucket" - basically this would include speciallized elements found in the first lines of the Space theme - take for instance the light gray (...)

(...) I agree with this pretty much. If you're not going to have all the parts in the old colours there's not that many that are really needed in them. Getting as large a range of elements in the new colours is the priority. Tim (22 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)

Yep, this got ugly in a hurry. If truth be told, I can see why TLC did the color change. Here is my theory: TLC felt that it should keep its lines fresh; TLC felt that a new vigor should be fed into the toys is made. So, it came up with several (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general)
