The easiest way to solve this conflict would have been to do some slight
changes in the new releases (for e.g. colour modifications and new printings.)
The players would get the wished stuff for playing (who would care about a
mirrored print, if he wants to play with the stuff?) and the collectors would
be glad to find a new item to get it into the collection. For example the new
Metroliner could have been same as the old one, but in dark gray.

What a good idea Ben.
I would support that.

A bit like the Retro Station being released in 2 colours, yellow and red. Why not do the Metro Liner in new colours too?
Like a yellow and white Eurostar version.

If they can produce the My Own Train in so many colours, why not apply this concept to other sets too?

What I do wish, is that seeing as they are going to the trouble of making these sets again, why cant they put some of
the bricks from those sets into bulk packs?
I dont want a metroliner, but I do want the roof bricks, and doors with stripes, so I can make more coaches.
I dont want a Guarded Inn, but I do want lots of red (and yellow, and white) tudor wall pieces.
They are making these things anyway - so put some in a packet for me please!

lawrence

Dear all! I'm really glad with most of the latest news we have heared from TLC. Bulk order becomes better and better, (in Germany you can buy at S@H even without credit card!), the "My Own Trains" and the new waggons are nice as models and (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains) !!
