NO, the metroliner is a ~BAD~ set. STAY AWAY from all train stuff like the plague!!!! you'd be better off spending your hard earned $$ on a set that will ~DO~ something. oh sure, others will tell you that a motorized layout can do(?) something. but (...)

(...) Sorry, by that I meant, clearance 4561's or normal 4512's. However, there was a big sale before Christmas where the 4512 was only $120 or so at Toys R Us. (...)

(...) Where are there clearance 4512's?? I purchased a few 4561s on clearance years ago, but would love a 4512, but not willing unless there's a little discount :) Dave K -who would love to hit the Sears Clearance in Brampton as much as some others (20 years ago, 18-May-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I think it's a question of what you want to achieve: -Do you want a set of all the "train pieces" so you can build your own? -Do you want a nicely rounded set which stands on its own? If it's more of the former, then there's clearance 4561's, (...) (20 years ago, 18-May-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Well, Derek, JeffVW and I just ordered one each too. So don't feel bad, you'll have company in a fleet of other Toronto home ported ships. :) I have to say I'm quite rather eager about getting this set! Calum (20 years ago, 18-May-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Now I ordered the 10152 Maersk ship. So all that money I saved on Friday night at WalMart by not buying any LEGO... For Not!!!! Eh, is only money. It'd only go to trivial things like mortgage payments and car insurance... Dave K (20 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) The Metroliner is a great set, and probably the best one that's out there right now, but you are right it doesn't come with a regulator. It does however come with a motor. This makes it a good second set. I would recommend getting something (...) (20 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) The Metroloiner is a decent set and it would be wise to pick one up before it disappears again. The set does require a regulator which is not included. They can be gotten cheap on ebay or bricklink. Lego sells them for $40 but they can be had (...) (20 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
