Hi everybody, please read the message below
I rarely watch this group
But i am amazed by the pictures, but the following things puzzle me
1. Since when those DB stickers come back? I thought they belong to the 12V
not to 9V
2. Look at 4450 Right at the top right corner appears to be a part of the
wall showning, and the pictures don't look like the way lego does theirs?
3. Look at 4424, the Station map there, that came from the Police Van
released in 1986
4. Look at 4468 Looks like at Old 9V Technic motor same for 4438 and 4439,
the old motor was discountued a few years ago.
5. 4465 Looks Odd?, why do Lego want to start making little pieces of track?
6. 4479 There is too much shadow, it's not well done.
THIS IS A HOAX

| Awe man, good call! Yep, forget it. It is a hoax (April fools joke, as someone pointed out). And it's probably one of the best I've seen.
