A few new figures emerged, plus the same Mickey design as in the Disney Castle. Chip and Dale are quite a surprise, love them. Minnie looks pretty nice, too, I'm glad she has a new torso. Goofy... that snout sure is prominent let's hope he'll look better in person.

[Hoth Rebel]

Well, if those are all them Goofy is gonna be expensive.

The dual mould dark blue legs on Chip and Dale look useful. Also, proves that they're intended for the set and not figbarfs. Do you think its supposed to be a conductor's outfit?

Yeah, I'm torn because I want to complete the character lineup from S1, but the secondary market prices for exclusive minifigs have lately been a little silly.

[GoldenNinja3000]

All the figures look great to me. I love Minnie’s arm printing and the two chipmunks look good in the conductor’s uniforms.

Is there an official thread to discuss the upcoming train?  I have searched but haven't found it.

Having thought about it since then, I was making a MASSIVE understatement. Disney owns so many characters under it's company, we could get themed Disney series for years without ever running out.

It'll be interesting to see how many version of Mickey and Minnie they can make, they'll probably be in every series  ... which will be first, Mickey dressed as Batman or Batman dressed as Mickey?

Yet another Goofy leaked. It has to be real now.

 

And dude, everyone has that thing

Am I the only person disappointed in the figures selection? Not a fan of the reuse of mickey from the castle, the Minnie is alright but feels similar to something we've already seen. I don't like the chip and dale at all. Just seems boring and a reuse of parts from the CMF. I really wanted some more exclusive figures other than goofy, which is the only fig worth getting. They could've turned some other characters that didn't need specific molds from the Disney line into minifigs easily. 

[Agent 86]

I have no idea of the veracity, but I read on Instagram (always a reliable source for credible information ) that Mickey (and maybe Minnie) are meant to be coming in a separate Disney set. Maybe the "Zebra" Disney set?

I do agree about an abundance of Mickey and Minnie minifigures. But, I guess Lego want to get value for money out of the head mould. And if someone ONLY buys the (rumoured) train set, then even as a casual Disney fan, they would expect it to include Mickey Mouse.

Hopefully the Disney CMF line continues for a very long time and we get plenty of other "classic" characters (e.g. Pluto, Oswald, Horace, Clarabelle, Pete, etc).

What is the Disney zebra set?

Who knows? Well, Lego presumably knows, but I haven't seen any reliable rumours other than "Zebra" possibly being a code name for a new adult-oriented Lego line-up (e.g. something similar to the Forma line). There was a few rumoured categories for Zebra - art, music, Marvel (or maybe it was DC) and Disney (from memory). It could end up being nothing.

While I agree wit you that the minifigs are rather boring and would definitely prefer something different, there would be the usual angry backlash of "there should not be so many exclusive minifigs in a set that expensive!  They are too expensive to buy on bricklink!"

Even a simple conductor hat or something to add to chip and dale would have at least made them a bit more desirable.

I expected it to be motorized or include track or both. 2925 pieces for around $330 isn’t a very good price to part ratio for a large set, especially considering the castle was 4080 pieces for only $20 more. This is awesome though, and I’m really excited to see it!

Maybe @Falconfan1414? Over on Instagram, he posted a "Story" about six hours ago picturing a countdown clock with nineteen hours to go respective to the time it was posted, which leads up onto the thirteenth tomorrow. 

[Terrasher]

Just saw the box pic, looks alright. Not as iconic as the castle itself, but that's hard to top. 330€? Is this going to be a ~450CAD set?

[strangely]

I expected to skip this set, but after seeing the picture, I actually love it. I'll definitely be buying this.

Nice to see the station included too.
