Uhm, maybe just once or twice...  <grin>  (or about 50 times!!)

I presume him at the controls of a train is the new symbol for Lego trains
(at least at the time these boxes were drawn up), since the same motif
appears on all the boxes.  All, that is, except for 4512, where he actually
appears to be included as the driver!

I *really* like the Max figure.  The overalls he's wearing are such a great
simple little torso design, and the dark grey 'glove' hands are a perfect
touch.  I had to open a #4534 just to pull him out and put him on one of our
trains!  :-)

But, as a consumer, looking at the box I would expect him to be included if
I saw that drawing/comic/logo in the corner...

<dreaming>
Maybe that's it -- LEGO will put him in *every* new train set!  Wouldn't
that be cool?
