the world

3. It is an advanced building set
4. 30 building instructions will be available for this set for 30 different
inspirational train models (one set of instructions will be printed and
included in the box and the 29 other instructions will be available online).
They can build an indefinite number of trains with the amount of bricks
available in the box
5. The retail price is 99.99 USD
6. The launch date is March 19, and you'll be able to get it at
