I recieved my delxe set yesterday. This is what has changed (from what I
can tell):
The club car seems to be just like original. There are curves, not
diagonal lines on the preprinted parts.
The metroliner has undergone a few changes. The hair has changed, the
small windows are clear cyan, not transparent white. The small train
doors are preprinted, but the larger ones require stickers. The sticker
for the station (displaying when trains arrive) has changed as well,
compared to the stickers shown on the box.
While I feel happy for owning such a great set, I feel disappointed at
the same time.
Why did they change the set?
Is it because people suddenly realised that the original sets weren't
going to be worth as much when the re-release came out? Was I really the
only one who realised that, long before LEGO even announced their
"Legend" series? I don't think I was.
So why did they change the sets? I think LEGO at least could have put up
a note on the webpage, telling us which things had changed. What's
next? Green classic space astronauts for the Galaxy Explorer?
