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.
|
You’re absolutely correct, it isn’t quite the same, badging/positioning wise.
It’s also a LOT different change, as even LEGO hasn’t suggested turning yellow
so much redder that it’s 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 I’ll be buying copies of this set, whether it uses legend grey or new
grey...
