It looks loke the cypress tree and the cool rails were substituted.
You can probably find the trees on Ebay or BrickLink since they were
recently remade (until the mold went bad as we were told at
BrickFest).  The rails, by far the coolest piece in the original
set, are going to be a problem.  I think they were only in this set (4),
the Public Works (3) and some 4.5V level crossings.

Even with the substitutions, it's still an awesome set and I bet
it will sell very well.  I see that TRU is starting to carry some
of the Lego Direct sets.  It would be interesting to know the
relative sales between those and the "official" main line sets.

BTW, I heard that Galidor has been marked down again by 50% at
TRU (from a previous 50% markdown).  It's good to see the free
market doing it's job :)

P.S. those look like 2003 vendors catalog scans.  Don't expect
them to stay up for very long.

(...) Also, the vehicle wheels look to be the newer model (replacing the ones with metal axle). The hubs are red though, and I cannot recall other sets where that colour was used for wheel hubs. Pedro (22 years ago, 20-Dec-02, to lugnet.year.2003)
