If you look at the picture on the BP Web site be sure to zoom in for the best view of each piece.
All in all a very colorful set with great graphics.
Again Thanks to Mark Oles for breaking the news on this new set!!
Bill,
Talking about price, I've noticed that recently, Bachmann sets were well beyond the $150 point for most of the sets. So, $199 is not all that bad, relative to the current mail order houses.
I like the paint job on that one too. Not a specific Christmas or Holiday scheme. Just a nice scheme that would look at home under a tree, inside or out.
Was in the Bass Pro in Mass. Friday!
The sales people thought I was crazy!!
They had no clue!!

Sean,
You might be crazy, but look on the bright side. You can have imaginary friends and carry on deep philospohical conversations with them in public.
As far as the set goes, it might be an online only kind of a thing.

Hi Guy's,
My local store manager said they would put them out on Nov 9th when their Christmas wonderland opened up.
I will definitely call first before driving all the way down there.
