I got mine yesterday when I came back from work, just 5 days after
ordering them (although I had chosen the cheapest and slowes way of shipping).
I agree with all, what you have written about the sets and the packages.

Just uploaded a few new pictures of 10013-10014 and the dark grey custom train.
That was the last missing colour in my collection.
