Well I guess they did jump the gun and on the one...WOW....by 8 months. Thanks for the info Sunhuntin
Now the listings are all back LOL
just checked my account, and the minnie sweets train is slated for dec, while monsters is march.
maybe tomy relaxed a bit and decided the damage was done, as it were?
Another new listing in the "Special Set" section. Don't know what is different with this Linear Liner Osaka Expo Model from the other Linear Liner already released but I am anxious to learn more. Its quite pricey so what makes it so special? Is it for the magnetic set or does it have wheels, inquiring minds want to know. Of course no pictures yet so if you know more please let us know or if anyone knows of a video of the Osaka Expo that may have a few shots of this train. Could this be an Event Exclusive Train?

Maybe its a replica of this new version of the Linear Liner that will run from Tokyo to Osaka in one hour.

it says it comes with a built in battery?
You are right Sunhuntin, good eye. Then maybe this is a new train for the MAGNETIC LEVITATION Linear liner Superconductivity Series L0 Special Set given that the train that comes with it is recharged through the station. Might explain the higher cost and the fact that they are going to start selling extra magnetic tracks to increase the size of a layout.
