    Last year we got the first bit of info (general concept and price) on Aug 7 and first leaked photo on Sept 9. We have a ways to go...

    Yeah if they keep the part count at 26xx...that's a spicy meatball.

    https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-11/5077/Lunar-Cargo-Train Looking forward to seeing where this goes in the refinement process. The designer claims it can run on standard track (in an elevated position?) but I'm not sure how that's possible with the skirting. I personally would purchase this as a display piece but, again, gotta see how it evolves, with price being a pretty big factor.

    I just placed two Bricklink orders and managed to get he vast majority of the necessary add-on parts. Buying all new pieces and shipping from US stores I got 95% of the parts for $38.xx and $19.xx shipped. Not terrible. I don't plan on motorizing so i won't have those expenses. Side note: some of these BL stores always make me laugh with absolutely ridiculous pricing. Just bonkers stuff.

    Oh man, that's going to be a pricey build once you collect all the supplemental parts for the Bs. Share pics when it's done!

    I'm pretty excited for this one and I think I'm going to pick up two copies for the B-unit. I have a bricklink list for the supplemental pieces and hope you have all those in hand by Nov when these things ship. This will be a static piece for me so I'm not at all concerned about 8-wide vs 6-wide. I also want to rebuild the base to look like the Croc base using the 16L individual rails.

    I should note it's not my photo but one I found online. It is great though!

    Here is a good look at the Santa Fe "Yellowbonnet" inspiration:

    I really like the model and the price is alright given the nature of the series...tempted to buy two sets and convert the second to a F7B. I wish it used the track pieces from the Croc model but I'll have to rebuild the base anyway so what's another couple pieces from Bricklink? Or maybe it's more cost effective (or a wash) to just Bricklink the B unit. I guess i have a few weeks to figure that out.

    Well, yes, but my point is the storage containers for modulars would be larger and would require more storage space, which is not something I'm interested in. As it stands, depending on the footprint of the set, I can store at least two WV structures in a 20qt box, plus a bunch of bagged accessories. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Sterilite-20-Qt-Gasket-Box-with-Clear-Base-and-Lid-6-Pack-6-x-19324306/312922371

    One of the nice aspects to the current WV theme is they're detailed but (relatively) easily stored...modulars would be more difficult. I never started a modular collection and I probably wouldn't get on board with a holiday modular. Too pricey, too big, displayed for ~2 months of the year. I'm hoping for an inspired WV entry this year to inject some life because my interest could be fading.

    A firehouse is of benign context and, in a lot of towns in the US (mine included), the fire department plays a role in the "arrival of santa", using the ladder truck to decorate, and is active in coordinating things like toy donations. No flaming tree or house fire are depicted. Conversely, what constitutes a police station? A jail cell, basically. No thanks. Regarding the possibility of a haunted village...depending on the depiction I could be into that. In fact I'm starting to accept the possibility that the winter village may have run it's course so if it were to replace the WV, maybe not a bad idea.

    I'm a no on a police station. They'll inevitably feel the need to fill the interior space with a jail cell.

    Something like this would either result in a substantially reduced piece count to stay at the current price point or a $200 WV set....and neither option sounds particularly enticing.
