Taking a break from reading the 250+ color change posts, I just got the
green light to announce a new Legend!
And its ....drum roll please....
5541 - Model Team Hot Rod!

Hi Jake,
By legend you mean it will appear on the same true colors as the first,
right? If not, I dont see the point of legends anymore, nor i do find
the word legend suitable.

see
and then see
and tell me that a different color, in and of itself,
makes a set somehow undesirable. I have both 4554 and 2150 and I like them
both.

Im not saying I disagree with you Larry, but to play devils 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, its not
*quite* the same thing as different colors in Legends. However, you make a
very valid point none-the-less.

But changing shades of colours on re-released versions of old models
is something that is commonly done across a number of industries. It
might be a reasonable concern if Lego claimed they were continuing to
sell 5541s and did not include the Legend by the name (or likely new
product #) as you could then conclude they were in fact the old kits,
but they are not.
