Wow, that was fast. The listing wasn't even there several hours ago and already the reservations are full? Nice find Sunhuntin
Well it looks like this one has sound for sure and maybe sparkling lights? Not too impressed with what I can see of the engine. Would think it was a knockoff if it wasn't listed here. Boy, Plarail and Disney are really going to town on all the new releases.

it looks good, been hoping they would release a centre piece like this. i really like the engine and the new colored risers... especially the purple! very unique.

ive signed up for the waiting list, so fingers crossed.

That would make a great center piece for one of your layouts Sun. I just noticed the exclusive 4 colored sloped curves too, not seen ones like that before except for white, blue or grey. They could have least also used colored rails instead of half being blue though. IMO. It looks like that there is a big doorway in the rock that slides open.

i agree about the normal tracks. they could easily have used colored ones from previous sets. im not sure if theres a door that opens or if the middle piece rotates some how? a door is more feasible and easily executed i think.

I wonder if that red girder bridge is curved in the back and possibly have something in the middle like a character picture or something since it looks like it could have a flat panel.

The speed with which these Hobby Search pre-orders close I'm beginnning to think they only have say a dozen and then see how many 'waiting list' enquiries they get before they place their real pre-order stock order so they know they will sell all they get if you follow me? Has to be something like this as virtually everything on pre-order sells out in a matter of hours of going up, if it was their genuine pre-order they would just order more quantity in the first place.

I have signed up for this one too. Dang, can't believe how fast it went. Undecided

Wow... so I received the email from Hobby Search that this item was in stock. I went to the item only to find that it was sold out. That was yesterday, so I checked back this evening and to my surprise they had it in stock now. I hurried and added to my cart. I went through all of the process up until the final screen to purchase. Check out the shipping on this. I was shocked. I have seen this on eBay for less with fee shipping so I may go that route I think.

It looks like it may be in a large box and if that centerpiece is made of a heavy duty plastic it may weight a lot. How much would SAL be? But $86 with free shipping doesn't sound bad even if it does take 3 weeks or less.
