     (...) Based on some comments I've heard, I think I won't be bidding on any Metroliners any time soon. Of course that might still slip into the Classics line. Frank (23 years ago, 8-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

     (...) If you think of it that way then i would say the metroliner is very possible(ie the window packs,plates etc still being made) VS very few of the parts from 6399 being made(ie track,mono train cars etc.) (23 years ago, 8-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
