LD and AFOL,
My 10001/10002 combo came via UPS today. I have not yet built the Metro
Liner, but I can see that it has light blue small windows (these need to be
replaced) I am also not to happy with the packaging of this set, all the
bags of parts, track, motor, stickers and instructions are just jammed into
the box. The instructions are scrunched, motor is banged up, sticker are
deform and two of the three wagon plates are warped. I don’t think the
warped plates will be a big deal once I build the cars, but they are useless
for flat cars, in the future.
Thing the LEGO company need to bring about for sets like this:
1) They should bundle the motor in foam or bubble rap
2) The tracks should be tied or boxed or bundle in a bag(s)
3) The wagon plates should be in a small box
4) The sticker sheet should be attached or placed in side the instructions
They also forgot to enclose the extra page for the Club Car instructions.
(What's changed?)
I know that LEGO is trying to save money but I hope they do a better job on
other re-released sets in the future. The 10001 and 10002 are still great
sets even with all the faults, just watch the quality better. Keep them
coming...
Thank you,
