As someone mentioned for the colors, I do not think that matters much since
much of the visible set is blue and red anyway.

It was me who mentioned it. Well, i have this set and it has a lot of light
grey in it, and some is very visible indeed (although major visible colors
are red and blue as you said). But if it doesn’t matter to you, that’s ok.

Hi Paulo,
Personally, I think that new light grey would look fine with this model. I
understand the concern for classic space and classic castle legends that are
are mainly light grey.
I would like to point out that several legends have not been completely
accurate copies of the original. For example, Black Falcon’s Fortress has a
different shield shape for torsos and the flag. The set is also missing the
bonus pieces used in a sub-model.
|
You’re right, also the Main Street has issues on some tiles and the USS
Constelation on washing machines instead of windows. But they are great anyways.
(Less greater than the originals though.)
| |
I will take classic space or castle legends in old or new grey. If it is old
grey, that is fine. If it is new grey, well I need to stock up on that
anyway.
|
Ok.
| |
| |
But the point of my post was mainly this: How about possible legends that
have a lot of light grey (classic space for instance); would you still feel
the same? (Or will TLC just avoid them?)
|
LEGO could easily avoid them. There are castle sets with minimal light grey
- some forestmen (6054) and joust sets (6060) come to mind. Space has
blacktron, futuron, m-tron, etc which avoids using too much grey.
|
That’s right, but it would be a shame if Lego would avoid sets like 928 or 6080
because of this color change. (And there goes my chance to put my hands on a
MISB 6080...)
| |
I will take legends either way because the sets have excellent designs, piece
counts, sub models, modularity, etc.
|
Mmmmm, will LEGO ever goes back to their “core values”?...
Best regards,
Paulo Renato
