Hello,
It's been ages since I've posted anything on here, so I hope this is the right spot. I love the look of the model, even in lime green, but the colour choice is something I can't really understand given Lego's 'attention to detail'. If possible, can you ask the designers why they decided to make the model in lime green instead of olive/defender green? Lego tried to match the colour scheme of the Porsche and Bugatti as best they could, even on the interior, but they seem to have gone with their own colour scheme for the Sian (the exterior on the real one is closer to olive/defender green, the interior is closer to black and tan). I understand:
The colour choice would've been polarising either way
They made the Land Rover Defender in olive/defender green just last year
Making all those pieces in a new colour would be expensive
... but since olive/defender green matches the colour of the real Sian more closely (and everything else I've mentioned), it seems like it would've been a more obvious choice.
I'm not sure if this has been answered in the promotional material or anywhere else, but if you're able to ask the designers about this, it would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to hearing an answer.
Thanks
