Lego 60262 City Passenger Airport $74.99 (25% off) in store at Costco and $79.99 online(plus $10 off 3 or $25 off 5). YMMV.

Is this a good poly to buy and resell? Thoughts on this set short/long term? Short production life?

They never had it last year. Its usually like one day the week after thanksgiving. I think they may be doing something different but I don't know.

We do the similar thing, try to keep sections together so we don't have to build everything from scratch the next year (would take forever) as we own all the winter village sets and get the new one each year.

Anyone know if/when Freddy's is having their 40% off lego sale this year and if there are any family and friends coming soon or already out?

I took the gear out that rotates the Christmas tree and replaced with just normal wheels and modified the 2 cars from 4161 into Christmas cars although I need some trees for the one car...anyways it runs way better, not perfect but way better. Also picked up the cargo train with power functions just in case I need more power.

Thanks, I will try that, that's what my wife was thinking it was the tree. 4561 is the original train that I modified.

I modified this with my old 9v motor under the coal car (most natural looking) and it works ok but seems to have trouble with more weight. I added a m.o.c. Passenger car and it struggles. Going regular speed at top speed on the regulator, you can hear it whining. Also tried putting in the engine car, worked a little better but same result with it struggling. Any suggestions? Thought about getting another train set with power functions to complement?
