Just went to look for more pictures of this and they're out there.  That looks to be a brick built track for display purposes.  Instagram is saying 1,271 pieces and $100 MSRP

Oh I thought $200 now to see if you can motorize it and build more track.

Seriously, if they were to do a train theme with different engines or cars or something. Similar to the Santa Fe/BNSF line of the 2000s. And throw a Polar Express in there somewhere too please

was there a submission to lego ideas similar to this one long time back? that one didn't get picked I think. anyway, someone will be pissed seeing this.

Ask Sergio about having a reason to be pissed - nothing can outdo that.

Are we sure this is legit? Box art says 10277 which is a b wing and the above list says 10271 for the creator set.

 

Ah never mind I misread the b wing number.

ah man, Train time!

hopefully we can easily retrofit a motor in this

Anyone know the launch date?

Ive never been a huge Railfan, but I need something of scale to place next to Doms Charger for maximum effect. MACK truck already in place.

This is perfect, but a little small.

Can't really go wrong at 100 RRP, just wait for 20% or more. If it has a short run... well...

anymore news on this set? can't find much outside of a few youtube vids that have already been posted.

Not officially announced by LEGO, so not even 100% sure it is legit (but very likely). Rumors on release date vary from July 2nd in Europe to "Some time this summer". Hopefully they will announce it soon ....

A Swedish website (blocket.se) has this up with a release date of July 2nd, including one more perspective picture that I haven't seen before.

My boy has been absolutely obsessed about trains since being 2 years old...therefore I have become a bit of an expert (like any good parent 😬)

I have seen them all...and in my opinion, when it comes to trains "Ugly" is beautiful....it's like appreciating the wrinkles on the face of someone who has lived quite a life...character lines. The "sleek" look of todays trains, albeit aerodynamic; hides the soul...like those damn plastic covering of the engine bay of cars nowadays..."uhm..there's already a hood...I like to see how the damn car runs rather than a giant manufacturer logo in plastic"
