(...) Tim, Agreed. Yes, there are some strong arguments on each side (I have yet to voice my concern for it, let alone for parts) but I think we should talk about set concepts and theme issues and sweet MOCs.

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)

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 (...)
