This just in, We take you live to a phone somewhere in the US.

The Christmas Lego train should be in the Sept/Oct catalog. Previous reports
showed that the set was only available in Europe and only 59 sets were made.

These reports were flawed. The reporter of that story has been fired and hung
out to dry. *Just kidding*

Set price should be arond $79.99 +/-.

We return you to your previous web surfing.

Hi,

the set made it to the shelves of the LEGO stores in Oberhausen and Hamburg
(which is both located in Germany) in early August 2006. Then the shop manager
where informed that the sets have to be kept in the backstore till october
18th...

Price has been 89.90 Eur. And I have eventually been in Hamburg that very
afternoon (11th of August if I remember right) when this set was available. And
I found it to be a too expensive parts pack for a spontanous buy.

Kind Regards,

Ben

Interesting to see how LEGO seem to be using the inverse of the generally
accepted exchange rate.  By that reasoning we can expect it to be around 150
quid by the time it reaches the UK...
