Ben,
Are changing your argument against re-releases from an issue of
collectability to an issue of quality control???
Yes, we have seen problems with production runs of train bases, some alleged
printing smudgy-ness on 10000 flags, Indian horses in the 10000 boxes, etc.
I'm sure these issues will be worked out over time. Big deal. If you get a
sub-par part, Lego has always been there to rectify the situation.
But are these production problems going to stop me from buying a 10001
Metroliner? No way.
Do I consider these quality problems major? No. They are very minor and will
be fixed, I'm sure.
And I'm sure Lego would be more than happy to send Christian a new maiden
mini-figure.

I have seen your pictures in Brickshelf, but I don't think there has been
much active discussion about quality control. At least in the forums I
follow (.general, .trains, .marketplace) (but feel free to direct me to the
threads if I'm wrong.)

I don't get this point. What do you have to worry about with the new
Metroliners? That they will decrease the "value" of your collection?

I was about to post about the latest bad quality on .lego.direct but Ben has beaten me by a few hours and mentioned it on this thread about Legends. (...)
