Because he seems to have captured how they feel about the color issue as it
affects Legends releses.  Can't be a reissue if it's significantly different.
Call it something else.

In any case, I wouldn't buy a reissue of the yellow castle.  Accurate?  So what?
It would still be bright yellow.  Sand red, tan, sand green, all would be fine.
Reinterpretation?  So what?  I'd buy it whereas I wouldn't buy the other.

Since I have stated that opinion before numerous times, why should a slight
variation in gray change my mind about it being a Legend?  Now, it may be a less
useful Legend, just as I see an accurate Yellow castle a less useful re-release
no matter how accurate.

If Ford Motor Company decided to "reissue" the Model T, would you buy one?  How
about if it weren't available in its original color, black, but some blue-black
color that was never used in the original.  Would the slight variation in color
change your mind?
