I should have mine tomorrow or Wednesday so I will post my video review on my channel as soon as I can. I'm going to try and cover as much as possible and do some comparisons with my Legacy Santa Fe for sizing purposes.
Pretty excited for this new entry, I think Menards is on the right track (pun intended)

The make-or-break question for me is whether or not it will run conventionally and/or with the Lionel universal remote. Since Menards hasn't replied to my previous post about that, I hope you can include this in your review.

If it only works on the Menards remote, I can see a lot of disappointed kids and inexperienced users when the remote is dropped or lost and they're dead in the water. The folks on this forum know what we expect to get at this price point, but I'm not sure that the casual user will see it the same way.
