I know this is a bit late, but how was your building experience with the
Metroliner? Were there any problems with it, besides the incorrect
blue windows?
I spent the one day in June or July?? June building it when I finally
decided to buy the Deluxe Metroliner. Apart from the incorrect windows and
mine had
incorrect grey pieces (1 x 3 plates instead of 1 x 2 plates).
The experience of building the set was great, and adding them to my existing
metroliner collection was pretty cool...
I really love the Club Car a lot!! (not to brag, but.... I do have several ...
ok 5)
Now, if Lego only put out the Hauler out as a Legend, that would be very
cool!!!
I brought a Breezeway Cafe, and a Blacksmith Shop for my Lego-loving
cousins to put together thanksgiving weekend. (I have at least 6 cousins
who are fanatics, and who wish that I would put them in my will for a share
of my collection...)
:)
Of course, my one cousin was able to put together the Cafe, the Blacksmith
Shop was another matter altogether. The real problem was that all of them
were fighting over who would put the pieces there. The shop didn't get
finished, but that is fine, since after I build it, I'll probably take
it apart to use for parts.
