Pounding Mountain Set: Not Worth the Money (to me, and DEFINITELY to my Mom)

So if I got this straight, you bought a brand new Plarail Pounding Mountain Set and you are upset that you can't modify it into something the set is not designed for? I have seen many YouTube videos with this mountain and if I remember correctly not in the way intended but I may be confusing it with a Trackmaster one..

Trackmaster doesn't have blue track... Although, at least from what I've seen, a lot of Trackmaster sets don't have good playability outside of themselves and easy compatibility with other sets. I've always had good experiences with Plarail, and I guess I'm just really salty that they've let me down for their first time. I'll say what I think, however, and I am very upset over not being able to use it in a larger layout. Mom won't be happy at all when she sees it on a shelf all the time, and the disappointment will only get worse after being screamed at and not being able to talk to my Mom for a whole night without causing her a headache.

Also, the picture you're showing is of the older version of the set. The newer version has a sticker instead of a castle, and a log truck instead of two troublesome trucks.

I've also forgotten to mention that the surprised face Thomas included in my set is a factory error. The printed decals on one side are off center, and on the other side, they're askew.
