What would you like to know?

A release date (month, anyway) for the first Power Functions train sets would
be a major step in spreading the word and I’m sure that’s the first thing on
J-1’s list. Any information on price points and types of sets that are
coming out in 2009 would also help. We’re also getting some questions about
track geometries and track pieces - anything new coming down the pike?

All that would be a good start.
I’d like to know recommended age range(s), since so many of the people asking us
train questions are parents with small kids.
I’d like to know what sort of battery pack they’ll have. I seem to remember
someone saying something about a rechargeable battery pack, that would be nice,
especially if we could quick-charge it during shows. Will the trains have an
automatic shut-down timer, like the existing Duplo trains? Or, will we be able
to just start ‘em up and let them go for a few hours? It’s quite annoying when
the train decides to shut itself down in the most in-accessable part of the
layout.
I’d like to know what sort of accessories LEGO is planning for the PF train
line. Any other remote control goodies? Will we be able to get individual
parts through Shop@Home? I know we’ll need several extra motors and battery
packs, and likely extra chargers. We have seven operating loops on our layout,
I can imagine that two or three of them being switched (no pun intended) to the
battery trains right away.
Release date, and perhaps a list of the initial sets would be great.
Heck, since you’re asking, I’ll just shoot for the moon: How about a new train
poster (like the one that had the Santa Fe on it) showing the new stuff?

The head of the PFS group is on holidays presently but I will pass this list on to him in the new year and I'll pass it through the Ambassadors program now in case that gets different results. I suspect that some of this may be answered and (...) (16 years ago, 24-Dec-08, to lugnet.general, FTX)
