Thanks Jake and Lego! I'm excited about being able to get a model team set, this would be my first. Please continue to publish legends regardless of the color issue. Mark (22 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, FTX)

WOW, first off Dave, let me say it is nice to see somone able to have rational thoughts about the color issue. It seems as though too many folks are not interested in discussing things just stating "it sucks" or "get over it". Now I will certainly (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)

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.

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.

(...) 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)
