I bought it a little over a week ago at around 9pm at a TRU. Got home and
started it at 9:30pm thinking "Well, the other UCS sets took me roughly 3
hours, so I'll still get to bed not long after midnight." I worked pretty
much non-stop on it until a little after 2am, when I finally snapped the
last of the 11 engines onto the back. But it was worth it. I think. That
could just be the lack of sleep talking, though.

And it has slews of great parts. Tons of white plates large & small, loads
of 2x2x2 white slopes (minifig dresses), the sought after 8x8 round
plate/tiles in dark red and white, inverse slopes, grey 1x1 tiles (7), grey
2x2 tiles (4), white & red macaroni, and a whopping 52 1/4 8x8x6 round walls
in white (a la the my own train tanker car). And of course very few printed
parts-- all stickers. Made me even happier.
I'm thinking about buying another one.
