[RCT2123]

There's already a thread about the new things CD is doing...

^That thread is supposed to be about Statix. So it is good there is a new thread for the new hundred-bucks model.

[RCT2123]

Whatever, seems like the same thing to me considering that is what that thread has become about...

Edit: Just saw your post in there, I see what your doing...

does ummm jack rimer (maybe his name) know cause im guessing he works with CD? does he ever get on?

[Jack Rimer]

Yes, we will be coming out with a new model early new year. We estimate the retail price to be a little over $100. It will be much easier to assemble, yet will have the same track system and realistic trains.

[lazor 22]

so it will be compatible with scorpian and dragon? will it be same track color?

[Jack Rimer]

No. Not sure what color, though.

[lazor 22]

it wont be compatible? will it be freemoving like scorpian or pre made like comet?

[Jack Rimer]

It WILL be compatible and expandable like the Scorpion.

awww man, now it is 2008...when will the new set come out? i think i heard on CD that i was coming out on spring or summer of 2008. is that rite? I am soo buying it if it is about than $120 or LESS!

[Jack Rimer]

The new kit will come out as soon as we get all the new molded parts complete. I can only speculate on when that will be. We are well on our way, but these things take a lot of time to pull together.
We don't have a firm retail price, but it should be somewhere between $100-$150. It will be easier to build than our current kits. It will be a combination of rigid molded track and our current flex track. The size will be close to the Scorpion, perhaps a little longer, with about the same amount of track. We will also have a station on this model. Height will be 26" tall.

[DeAzncy]

THAT IS AWESOME!!! and the price range is pretty dam good too comparing it to your other kits!

[lazor 22]

well after thinking about this, You get a $45 car and some flexible track but mostly pre-fabed. Then for $100 more you yet a $75 dollar car with all flexible track. I can't decide to wait and get this and buy a inverted car or buy this and then a hyper train.

[DeAzncy]

so is everyone part of CD going to save all the pictures and updates and things like that until the new set is released or what?

[Jack Rimer]

No. We will probably post pictures in about 60 days when we have some of the molded parts in place. We may also develop a dive coaster model in conjunction with the new kit since they will share many of the same parts.

[DeAzncy]

^wow!!! thank you for the update:) i have been waiting for a while.

[TripleHelix]

^^It might be a Griffon

Although, if it has some of the same parts, would they have a similar layout?

[Jack Rimer]

No, it would be a different layout.
Also our new kit will have a working station with shoulder harnesses that raise and lower as the train enters and leaves the station. The train will run a cycle, enter the station, stop for 30 seconds, then dispatch. We also have another surprise that will be included in the kit, but that will have to wait until later. Honestly, this kit will set new standards not only for coaster models, but ALL models in general. It really is going to be nice.

^Working Station. Thats it Goodbye Scorpian Hello new kit. BTW can you you tell use the name of the new kit or is that secrete.
