3677 - Red Cargo Train

[Jeff Mack]

LEGO City Special Edition Red Cargo Train (3677) ONLY $129.99

----------

They also have the 8043 Technic Excavator that is also going EOL, so here is a chance to still get one before they are gone.

This is still at retail price of $199, but also a set that is sold out and going EOL on LEGO S@H

Interesting. Lego Shop still shows it as available and in stock to me. I've refreshed my browser and cache....... Plus according to your black Friday US post this is one of the deals.

[Jeff Mack]

Your right, when I looked earlier this morning it said it was sold out too, i was going to update the home page earlier to mark it as sold out. I removed that part of my post. It still is a good price though. I guess they are working on making changes for their special tomorrow.

[Lateral-G]

I sure hope they have it because it's going to be my daughter's Xmas present. Plus I have over 2000 VIP points to use up.

The sales price on eBay for the Red Cargo Train is back to $159.99 on eBay, but for today you can still get this train set for $127 at the LEGO SHOP

The Technic Excavator is still available for now.

I show the train as Sold Out again on LEGO Shop at Home.

I would love to have this set. Seems like it would have a great turn around at some point, most train sets seem to, but I would much rather have it to build of course! seems like an awesome build, I'd have a problem keeping them in mint.

That's why you buy more than one. I couldn't pass up the offer, so I picked up two last week before it sold out. Great deal, plus 10% off, free shipping and free holiday set. I might keep one of these for when the boys get a bit older.

Below retail and it's recently retired - I say good deal.  There's not much risk of a downside here, go for it man.

[TheDarkness]

Certainly grab it. You won't be looking back with this purchase, especially considering it had a short production run compared to the other motorized trains.

I'd buy it man! Great deal for a retired set

Yesterday, I rebuilt the 3677 Red Cargo Train. Really love this trainset. My son cannot wait to see it run.

Unfortunately, to my unpleasant surprise, I found out that I forgot to take out the batteries from the batterybox of the locomotive. The batteries were there for 3 years and were all burst and had leaked fluid.

I tried to clean the batteriebox but no luck. It is dead.

Now I want to buy a new batterybox. Can anyone confirm it is the power function below that I need?

Thanks in advance.

Yup, but you might be able to score the rechargeable one cheap off ebay then you won´t have the same thing happen or score a cheap (60 euros) passenger train and part it out.

[Ciglione]

Which number has the rechargeable one?

[Val-E]

8878 but sit down before you click to see the RRP.

70 euro is expensive yes. But you will safe on 6 batteries. 

Can you still use the remote with the rechargeable one?

[Val-E]

Yup and it´s a lot lighter. I paid 50 for mine IIRC and it is great for Technic too due to lower weight. Make sure to get a charging power supply off Ali Express too. Lego one is eye wateringly expensive.

The cheapest way is still to use normal rechargeable AA batteries, though.
