I have never known LEGO to ever use anything other than their own internal ideas for what might sell. Set design and process has always been done in Demark (But as some of you know that has changed with the restructure of Futura...) One of the guys (...)

(...) I was someone that badly wanted a Metroliner, but I was young and didnt have the money to get. And now I have the money but you cant get one for $200 anymore. :( So I wouldnt mind a white Metroliner or even and orange one. It would need some (...)
