I’m pretty disappointed with those containers. I’d have expected them to use
the recessed doors they’ve used in the past. I do like that the cars are
built up, though, rather than single pieces.

I wouldn’t be buying this set anyway, but I’m really getting tired of TLC’s
excuses to AFOLs. “New molds cost too much” was the old refrain, but now it’s
“an inability to produce new colors of those parts in our current financial
state”.
Where does TLC come up with the money to mold new pieces like
this,
this, and
this? And let’s not
even talk about the money spent to introduce a whole new set of colors. It would
be a lot more honest if they just said “Some of you suckers will buy anything,
so why make the effort”.
