Something Brad talked about that I haven't seen mention of is that he
wants to head towards more customization of sets. I don't think My Own
Train will be the last color customizeable set. He also mentioned things
"Chinese family dinners" (pick your train engine from column A, two cars
from column B, a caboose from column C, and a track layout from column
D, and get the whole shebang for less than the total cost of each item
purchased individually). He also raised the mosaic as another example of
customized sets. This was in response to a question about the "build
your own set" rumor which floated around a while ago. He was pretty
clear that they wouldn't be offering any "build your own set" piece by
piece any time soon.
