Pretty cool of Lego to do this. Wonder how many will be made/value will be on secondary market.

This special set celebrates the six decades of classic LEGO trains since the first one rolled down the tracks in 1966.

Pretty freaken cool IMO, found it on local FB, some already on eBay. Hope I'm not reposting.
 

You are reposting lol. I posted like weeks ago! Wait till you get down here you're in trouble!!!

The ones on ebay seem to be directly from the production line.  Employees in the USA have not received theirs yet, awaiting that and the subsequent price drop.  It is good to see some of the auctions are ending with no bids. Worth it just for the box IMO.

If you buy one you can keep the box and send me the contents.

Yeah, it's all about the box for me. It looks great. It reminds me of the old system sets from when I was a kid. Serious nostalgia buzz.

With me, it's all about the box to the BUYER as they all seem to be so anal about box condition. Sorry but, I just cannot stare at a box all day as I'd rather look at a bigger poster of the set and nothing beats the contents IMHO. If I did buy this (very unlikely), I'd wait for the QFLLs to drop it to under £100. Of course, it'll be for collecting not losing selling. If it's aftermarket is so good, why wouldn't LEGO just release it?

Wait until retail employees in USA get theirs, guys... (to buy, if you got these to sell already, drop them NOW)

I think this set looks great. The employee gift sets are always a bit iffy though (they seem to be a bit too under the radar).

Trains theme should be a plus - I will look for the opportunity to buy some (but I wouldn't chase it).

Yeah, if I did buy it, it would be for my own personal collection rather than as a QF. It's not designed to be a full release, more of a unique collectors item. I'll be waiting to see where the price goes before I'd pull the trigger on it.
