Forget about the box art and the fig.  Look closely at the bricks
on the bus.  Two different shades of purple.  No doubt the bricks
are the old purple we've grown to love, and the windows are the
new improved purple.  Get used to that look, because we're going to
see a lot of it in MOCs from now on.
