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.

Youre absolutely correct, it isnt quite the same, badging/positioning wise.
Its also a LOT different change, as even LEGO hasnt suggested turning yellow
so much redder that its red...

However, you make a
very valid point none-the-less.

Thanks. Something else to toss out is that when the FIRST legend was announced,
you might recall that there was a significant faction of people *asking* that
LEGO NOT use the same colors but rather release in a different color so as not
to reduce collectability. Of course, they were asking for a larger difference
than the difference between old and new light grey.
 
 I expect Ill be buying copies of this set, whether it uses legend grey or new
grey...
