Maybe if everyone signs a petition to lego about making another METROLINER,
they will consider reproducing them. it could work. right? maybe if they do
listen to us and do reproduce the metroliner, it will occur to them that
unjuniorizing their sets will boost up sales 100%. its a win-win situation.
we're happy and their happy.


Wait a minute.  I thought lego IS reproducing the metroliner.  Isn't it and
the club car the August Lego Legends? Or did I miss something???


Lego is reproducing these GREAT SETS?(4558 and 4547)? will there be any
packaging or differences to the trains that are visible?where can i get more
info on these new sets? Joe Franco

There might be some minor packaging differences, but the set itself should
be exactly the same compared to the 1992 Metroliner.  Same thing goes for
the club car as well.  I am now scambling to get off my unemployed ass and
start scraping up some cash to get these sets.

One more thing.  The little number for the re-released metroliner is 10001
and the club car is 10002.  Punch those numbers up on the lugnet database
and you should get a little more info.

The new sets tend to come out in black/white boxes with new set
numbers.  I think that is beyond minor differences.


but the set itself should be exactly the same compared to the 1992
Metroliner.


We will probably see differences in minifig elements (when was the new
torso and head introduced?) as well as differences in stickers or
patterned parts.


There are also some elements which change over the years, so it will
probably be possible to tell the new set from the old one.  Typically,
minor details such as hollow vs non-hollow studs tend to change from
time to time on certain elements.
