Right, being a train, town, and space head, it will really hurt the wallet,
but I am not complaining. It is great to see more people experience the
Metroliner and Club Car. I just bought the Gaurded Inn for fun. : )

My white ones are pretty much the same. I *wish* it was the 6990 Futuron
monorail, but since they can't get more motores, I guess that is DOA. I
would love the Galaxy Explorer, I never had one, or perhaps maybe the MCM.
Really, I would be happy with any set from Space series. I am really happy
to see this, I think we will have much to rejoice. : )
I don't know if this would happen or not, but I would love to see a Legends
minifig line, just take a theme, whether it is castle, space, train, or
town, and have a 5 pack of minifigs from that era. BT1, BT2, Black Knights,
etc. That could supplement the Legends series as well. Futuron pack would
always be my first preference, though! ; )
