I have this vague memory of someone telling me that Brad told them that
he pointed out that on the box pic that the change was somewhere around
where the schedule piece is.  I don't where I heard this or maybe I
dreamed it up.  I havn't consulted the box pics or instructions to
reckon a guess to what it could be.  Whatever the change is, I don't
think it will be big enough that I won't buy the set.

ps. remember this is just a random memory I have and shouldn't be
regarded as truth.

around wether Brad had said there were "minor detail" or "minor decal"
changes.  It was never confirmed either way what was actually said
unfortunately.

Fortunately though, Chris Leach actually had his metroliner instruction book
on hand.  We went through it and did not find any pieces that stood out as
being out of production.  It seems that the set uses mostly quite common
parts, except for those with printing.  There were a couple of
possibilities, but nothing that would effect the overall model.

Comparing the new box art to the instructions, it appeared to be the same
picture.  So no info could be gained from there.

I'm leaning towards some of the printed pieces being replaced with decals,
but that's just my guess.

Getting back to a 11day old question with some info and some speculation:

In lugnet.events.brickfest, Jude Beaudin writes:

Did [Brad Justus] give any info on the minor detail changes?

While talking about the changes in the 10000 Guarded Inn, the impression I
got was that he considered those changes as less than minor.

So I'm expecting the Metroliner changes to be somewhat more substantial.
Maybe different minifig decorations, or maybe the ponytail hair isn't
available anymore.

Could even be that some parts are out of prod, so they had to finagle • around
a redesign.  But that seems more than minor, to me.
