Guest ph4tb0i Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 lol it's a train thread so horizon express of of course... Thinking of buying more and selling the loco just to get more coaches too. it's a beautiful train next to the emerald night and ICE train.

Guest ph4tb0i Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I really doubt the new trains would hurt the old ones value. With trains (and planes) collectors will always seek to add to their collection, not chuck the old one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binici Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I really love the current trains. I'm seeking older trains and if you look at the prices, it doesn't seem like any trains have lost their value... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No More Monkeys Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 In my opinion, you need: 2 of them to build a complete train (who wants a TGV with no arse end?) Track Power functions Don't get me totally wrong... It's a nice looking train but, I think it represents poor value considering that you can buy a "complete" 7938 often discounted for less. Therefore, I'm passing on Horizon Express. More for you then. ;-) I am indeed surprised that Lego did not do that (add extra engine and more track) in context of 5003540 kit... Though price-wise it would become a death star of a train set... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodlenut Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Alright, we now have official images for these two trains and the train station! via Brickset: The Cargo Train, $200 USD The High-speed Passenger Train, $150 USD And the Train Station, $65 USD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ph4tb0i Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 wow. that's pricey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I can't imagine what the UK prices will be like. Thanks, not as good as I first thought so I now feel better about my 7938s and 7939s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauromosis Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Totally agree Tabby, plus white doesnt age as well as red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarPod Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 our upcoming trains that should be retiring dont really stand a chance in the second hand market imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biniou Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Very nice sets at first sight ! The High-speed Passenger Train seems quite expensive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binici Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Wow! I feel like if we scored well on the current trains, that we can breathe lightly for investment wise. No matter what, having the current trains run along with these will look very splendid. The new train station does look awesome, though!

TheOrcKing Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 No wonder I quit hobby trains years ago. Damn those are expensive. Give me a couple Helm's Deep instead; my parts for castle building must grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkrigger Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 How are people getting these already. This person has a lot of the new sets How? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-City-Cargo-Train-60052-/301178450499?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item461fa27243 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deez_Brickz Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I saw the new cargo train in TRU $199 they had 1 maybe 3 sets. Is there value in flipping this? They also had the new arctic sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkrigger Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 It seems early to be seeing them so yes I think there could be some quick money to be made. Anytime there is scarcity there is usually some markup to be had. But don't quote me on it. I am surprised TRU is allowed to put things out so early, and at MSRP with the possibility of applying coupons, rewards etc. I would buy one if I could locally for MSRP.

Stevenplays Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Would only recommend sets that you wouldn't mind sitting on or will buy later for personal use as it may turn out bad, but most likely won't, just the common warning and all. I say take the risk for a quick flip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadowsk1 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 These trains are my favorite. With the shelf life they will undoubtably get I'm jumping at 20-25% off. Buy now and enjoy them longer. I don't think they will see bigger discounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenplays Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 New train sets available at LEGO Shop@Home via TheBrickFan http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Train-Station-60050 http://shop.lego.com/en-US/High-speed-Passenger-Train-60051 http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Cargo-Train-60052 I also wonder when we'll see the next Creator Train set... Considering we got 9 sets with a train within the span of just 4 years, excluding these, my guess would be late 2014 or early 2015. Some may not consider the Ghost Train to be an actual train though, so really only 8 trains that could easily be motorized but only 5 with official instructions from LEGO, 3 that came with both the PF and Track, and another coming with just the track. Ahh... the old speculation train. Ha. I do hope the next train has a better looking front end compared to the Horizon Express, didn't really care for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
