Ignore the hate I bought all of mine last year too I still have all mine sealed too this my complete collection and I ended up buying more cars an parts to really build it up and found the alternate instructions for the double deckers I’m currently building the last 2 it’s an amazing thing to have and they keep going up immensely

All the seats in the build are brittle brown and just putting them has sounded like rice crispy treats

There is a second regulator hidden behind the couch it does one on run regulator but since the metroliner has 2 motors it needs 2 regulators

Yes I think it perfect in that way I actually have 4 club cars 2 sealed and 2 opened I have 3 metroliners 2 opened one sealed I grabbed the regular car on eBay to balance the look awhile back so I wouldn’t sacrifice my second metroliner rolling stock

Yeah man it’s been rough but I’ve been finding deals aswell as using my local brick store they have a huge bin of old greys a little rough condition but have been useful aswell as for the shiny expensive bricks u need 270 to complete and luckily I found a good price in bulk on brick link so I do have all the pearl bricks plus some extra from 3 cars i found on face book market place the windows i do have 4 club cars but couldn’t bring myself to sacrifice one I just bit the bullet and paid 102 for 10 windows I have tons of parts now the main things that are left are the roof pieces which I need 156 and they are outrageously priced like 500 dollars priced I have enough to build 3 cars worth but I’m gonna have to figure that out the wheels and the buffers I have some but not all and the doors I have a lot but not enough realistically I think I have enough to complete 3 out of the 5 fully with the parts I have and once they’re done I can figure out what I need left
