The sets are very disappointing. I was very excited by the Austrian Rail Car,
which I was never able to find, and sets like the Metroliner. The Metroliner at
least looked sort of real and had a general transportation theme. Now, we have
all sorts of sets that look goofy or tacky at best. I also loved the Club Car
that was an additional set add on for the Metroliner. Please, some one get a
message to Lego, we want sets with more thought and complexity than is given by
the newest train sets.
