I'll tell ya

why-to keep kids from getting it that wouldn't truly appreciate the values of it,

say a 7 or 8 year old. My total CHristmas list didn't even amount to $250

then.......

[Stealthy350Z]

Yes, but most teens would rather spend $500 on

much better things, such as all the expense that comes with owning a car.

[SSCoasters]

To everyone that ask why it cost so much.

the reason that it cost $275 or $500 is because everything is custom.

it's made with top quality stuff that you cant find at the store. I'll explain

more later, I have to get off right now.

Well, I'm friggin excited to see this set get off

the ground, go nationally public in retail stores, and then we'll see some great

models come together. Price wise, the sets are a lot like model railroading in a way

(because I personally would do some train modifications for one, not to mention color

changes to follow). Those plastic look trains are begging for paint, and I would love to

see a hyper with this set.

It'd be great if they had more than one type

of expansion pack (like novice, intermediate, expert or so on). Each would have tons

of track and support extras, maybe instructions for element designs to try. Heck,

maybe scenery, a station house or building, tunnels, and interchangable parts for the

trains would be awesome once the company gets to trying new things. This set can be

extremely customizable very shortly. And I'd go broke to boot...

[SSCoasters]

Actually they have a working station prototype with

brakes. It is said to be very realistic in that it comes to a slow stop (not a sudden),

sound like real friction brakes, and works like block brakes. When it comes out it will

be sold separately.

Also they will start selling Scorpion (their new model)

sometime next week.

[Dakanektr]

Nice, when are

we gonna see some floorless, I wanna see a rec of Kraken or Medusa!

[nyteflyte]

dak you forgot of 1 of the coolest floorless coasters

coming out, HYDRA

[CP-ephY]

For a floorless or sit-down, all you need is a

different car. Otherwise you can just flip the track over....so I'm guessing it

shouldn't take that long before a whole range of different trains come out.

[Dakanektr]

I didn't

forget, It's just gonna be a bit ambitious for someone to make Hydra before it

comes out.....a real ride right now is cooler.......

[nyteflyte]

tru, i agree with you 100%, how bout a rec of scream

that would be cool, i wonder if there gonna make an arrow model, so some1 can re

create drachen fire

[Westside7th]

If I ever get one of these sets, I would wait a few

years so I can get the newest designs that will have all kinds of better features than

the original.
