Taking a break from reading the 250+ color change posts, I just got the
green light to announce a new Legend!
And it’s ....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 don’t 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.

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 different colors in Legends. However, you make a very valid point
none-the-less.
