Hi.
I recently got a 4534 (LEGO Express), which is a Target Exclusive. I bought
it via E-bay.
It is a combination of:
KT205 (Black Train with Tender), missing a couple pieces (the 1x2 black
jumper tile and the 1x1 black headlight brick)
10015 (Passenger Car), but in Blue
K5300 (Train Accessory Kit), with Light Unit, Speed Regulator, and Electric
Train Motor
4520 (Eight Curve Rails), x2
4515 (Eight Straight Rails) x1
plus 5 minifig w/ accessories (comes with a conductor, engineer, an "adult"
male passenger, an "adult" female passenger, and a "child" boy passenger;
accessories are a red suitcase, a grey suitcase, a sign)
and
1 decent but modest looking train platform.
Overall, I think it is a nice set if you bought it off of E-bay or got it
on clearance. I think the list price of over $150 is somewhat crazy, since
if you want a basic model, they had 4561's going for clearance at 75% off,
in certain places.
The blue passenger car looks pretty nice, and the minifig additions make this
a nice set. I like the "child" minifig add-on, and the conductor has an
interesting color-combination on his outfit, a really rare looking red and
blue.
If there was anything bad I could say about it is the platform uses
new style pivet pieces on the ramp (aka town jr. era) instead of more
classic pivet plates.
It would have been nice to include the 1x2 jumper plate and the 1x1 headlight
brick also, if you didn't feel like using the light, but since this is geared
for a "train starter kit", they (as in the designers) didn't target this
for other people, who would have probably used the electric pieces in other
uses (their own trains, etc).
