Also in California,
I have to add here that this is one of the coolest things LEGO has done yet,
reissuing a regognized "great set" like this Train kit.  My 4 (five in
March) year old already loves LEGO and LEGO Trains and we offered him *any*
$200.00 combo of LEGO kits for X-Mas.  He turned down
*every-single-set-in-the-S@H-catalog* in favor of receiving a Metroliner and
Club Car kit.  Man, that kid has taste!
We got his Track kit and Metroliner, but due to the afore mentioned packing
error have to wait 5 to 8 days more for the Club Car.  He still gets them at
X-Mas and I have no complaint from a company as awesome as LEGO (who still
responds to my damaged or missing pieces calls with no problems).  As long
as LEGO is a brick, I will be a fan.  And it looks like my son will too.
Best wishes,
-Aaron-

(...) I agree. My shipment of 3 Metro's and 4 club cars arrived Monday. (Vancouver, BC Canada) It was part of my club's order. Dean (25 years ago, 17-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.lego.direct)
