^Truth Max. When I had a really nice hyper in my house, people would come over and complain it wasn't "intense" enough and when was I going to put a "loop-de-loop" in. The more upside downs knex puts in the better.

Just saw this, and I can assure you that it most likely will NOT be out of the $400-600 range. It's all marketing, and SSC is almost like an experiment to them; our feedback is what contributes to how they distribute. You're ignorant if you don't think they watch over this forum.

Though, maybe I didn't see it, but how come no one's mentioned that "Son of Serpent" is an obvious reference to "Son of Beast"? Just an FYI. :P

So many things go through my mind, but I don't post them all. What you just mentioned is one of them.

Well I'm concerned about the price, since my limit will be $250 but I can bet it will be way more.

I kinda want this set, but then kinda don't. I haven't made up my mind yet.

I wouldn't buy one of these at full price, whether it's $1000 or $300.

Right here.

Notice I underlined the words in the image

MODEL NOT FINAL

also, I misread initially, no price is listed. It says pieces TBD.

I'm interested to see what kind of motor system they came up with. One motor was good for 3 cars, but could never carry 5. I also am interested in how long the tubing is. i hate cutting tubing and the longer the better.

Hmm this is interesting. This set includes a lot of pieces, but I can't spot a single granite rod. It would be a shame if the final model doesn't include them!

It also looks like this set includes very long tubing. I hope that knex is also going to sell this tubing seperately, that would save us some splicing.

I never thought about the tubing. Super long parts would be great. Hmm, there must be granite somewhere... ;) (But I hope there will be more in the final set)
