There is no such thing as a Legend, can't be a Legend if the colors are not
the same as the original. Making minor changes, due to part availability,
is one thing but changing the color of the parts is something completely
different. I shudder to think how bad a classic space Blegend will look
with all those bley parts.
This stinks, finally Model Team makes a return and these amazing sets will
be destroyed by bad colors. I have to admit it is very interesting to me
that the 5541 is one of the sets I have wanted most and I won't think twice
about passing on this one.
Bley is BAD, gray is good! Change it back!

Not so much to deter me from being happy with it or buying the (...) (20 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
