what was lego thinking in the first place to juniorize their train sets?they
probably knew that after a while people would loose interest since their
sets had fewer and fewer pieces, and were becoming more expensive. anyway, i
think its great that Lego wont be juniorizing their newer train sets..but i
wouldn't get to excited about it, because the Metroliner and Club cars are
going to be released as legends, and cant be juniorized...but that doesnt
mean lego wont be juniorizing their newer train sets after the 10001 and
10002 retire into the train yard...anyone think of that? lets just hope they
killed juniorization good and dumped its body in the ocean. im looking
foward to better and less expensive sets in the future-nothing like that
damn 4561, that almost just killed the hopes and dreams of lego train buffs.
