But I do notice that the wheelsets in the Legend Metroliner are stiff and

cut off to make them spin without clicking...

Dean, sounds like your wheels had some production errors. I would encourage
you to call our Consumer Services Center and ask them to send you some
replacements. They should be able to get them to you in no time.

Dear Jake,

a German Co-AFOL has had trouble with the Santa Fe train as well.
He called the consumer service for replacement wheel sets and got informed the
Super Chief was not meant as a train set, but as a display set for the shelf
only. So there is no need for working (+ replacement) wheels at all... :-(

(only in German)

Is that the way to handle a mayor quality issue?

Hmmm, this sounds very, VERY bad!
A consumer Service Department is meant to provide SERVICE !!
Bad parts are bad parts, and there should only ONE PROPER ANSWER from a
service employee: 'Sorry, of course w'll replace your bad Legos'

That's it, no more, NO LESS !!
No stupid denials and 'meant to be for display' bla, bla, bla'. The
Constellation, that's a display set!
Maybe they've a bit forgotten who actually pay their salary: the
Costumers, not the boss....

NOTE: In the Netherland 2 sets of Lego are elected 'Toy of the Year 2002'
The Jury stated that one of the better aspects of Lego is: the HIGH
LEVEL of Costumer SERVICE !!???  ..........is it ?????

PS: Which newsgroup is best read by Lego-employee's??  I'll gladly post,
repost, crosspost etc. this message to that group.
And Ben: maybe we can have some Very Clear discussion about the
Service-topic (with the Lego-guys) during the Legoworld event!
