It is a very interesting topic.
My guess is that the box art is just preliminary work of a concept artist,
(in pre-production) where as the models at the fair are what the company
decided to go with.
I hope not...
I too like the old models (in the box art) over the models at the Toy Fair.
I highly doubt that LEGO will come out with both a green one and a red one,
but with them going EXCLUSIVE at certain retail chains, ANYTHING is possible.
