Wow!

The "Lego Express" "Expreso de Lego" was shelved (with no tags) in New York
Target this weekend - it's the black My Own Train engine, tender, and BLUE
passenger car, plus minifigs and ramp. (Yeah, I know, who needs blue
windows?) It comes with more straight track than the Railway Express 4561.

If this is actually the green passenger coach redone in blue that is HIGHLY
significant because it means that train doors, wide train windows and narrow
train windows are available IN THE SAME COLOR all at the same time. When's
the last time that's happened??? (well, actually not all THAT long ago you
could get them all in white)

Can someone confirm or deny?

Confirming these sets and providing details:

Both sets contain the following:

- My Own Train large black steam engine with tender
- Motor
- Light
- Speed regulator
- Oval of track
- Platform
- Mini-figs (Including Conductor Max and Engineer Charlie from
www.LEGO.com/trains)

The 4534 Includes:

- Blue version of the LEGO Direct passenger car (same model, different color)

The 4535 includes:

- LEGO Direct caboose
- LEGO Direct open freight wagon
- LEGO Direct (green) passenger car

The 4534 is only available at Target, and the 4535 is only available at TRU
I believe.

Hope this helps!

I have a strong urge to think positive thoughts here: I would be delighted if Shop at Home decides to sell the blue passenger coach and Conductor Max and Engineer Charlie seperately. I'm convinced they will do so in due time, maybe even in more (...) (22 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) As a Canadian, with no Target available, I am VERY disappointed. Jake, will any other stores outside the US be getting 4535? Or will LEGO Direct be making blue passenger coaches available in the future? Thanks. Tim Strutt (22 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.lego.direct)
