It is THE worst train ever, I can't even figure out how to mod it because the pieces, except the windows, are pountless.
Target.com had it onsale for $50, so I had to buy it. $63 dollars total for a working train is a great price.
And they won't release a new train line, they did a new one last year and it's too soon.
For the sets I really like I'm not taking any chances!!!! I still prefer to pay it full price than not having the set at all. Furtheremore, great deals only appear on large and expensive sets (and rarely on Star Wars sets!!!!). Oh well, I'll see this fall how lucky I am (or NOT!!!!!).
Easy, what you do is wait a year for the sets to go on clearence. Hardly any did this year, rather sad. Then if there are still sets you want you can go to Toy's aRen't Us or just buy them from S@H. The sets can be found for more than a year.
They aren't even sure about that, and only 90% sure they will make it to the US S@H.
But it dounds like Europe is getting screwed, but I bet within the next year or so all the lines will be released worldwide making this completely pointless.
Now just pack up your half-empty glass and you'll be ready for pessimist school.
The glass is half emety if you drink half of it and half full if you only filled it up halfway. Any megablock knows that.
And just looks at the comments people made in the 5 hours that it looked like the US wouldn't get the Vikings at all. They are most of "Hahaha, now you will get screwed with prices" and people being bitches. it's not me being pessimistic, it's about the realality of it.
Someone could always e-mail Jake about it, and he's allowed to comment, since it was in a press release.
"I cannot speak about upcoming releases".
You have to remember Jake is completely pointless 95% of the time.
