| (...) Hi Jake, By "legend" you mean it will appear on the same true colors as the first, right? If not, I don't see the point of "legends" anymore, nor i do find the word "legend" suitable. Best regards, Paulo Renato (21 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, FTX)

| (...) 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 (...)

| (...) You're absolutely correct, it isn't quite the same, badging/positioning wise. It's also a LOT different change, as even LEGO hasn't suggested turning yellow so much redder that it's red... (...) Thanks. Something else to toss out is that when (...) (21 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, FTX)

It might be a reasonable concern if Lego claimed they were continuing to sell 5541s and did not include the (...) (21 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, FTX)

Well, then, all those that griped about Legends series ruining the value of their old sets won't have anything to complain about, since the old sets were the old gray and new "Legends" sets are new gray....That means to the AFOL collector who (...)

And if they made one in *universal* tan surely i would get one too :-) Now, seriously, and with all due respect, i think you missed my point. English is not my native (...)

If they were you could expect the exact same kit... same kit #, same brick colour, same brick material could even be argued. By (...) (21 years ago, 8-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, FTX)

The 5541 Hot Rod is a pretty nice model, but I would've picked something else (like the Galaxy Explorer). Those (...) (21 years ago, 8-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, FTX)
