I just bought it for $350.44 in Mexico at a Lego store.
Here's the pre-review:
1) They had one already assembled, and I am surprised at how small it actually is.
2) It does NOT contain a remote, and you cannot buy a separate remote. The separate remote they sell works on some of their trucks but not on these trains.
3) Opening the box, I found no damaged pieces.
4) They had an excellent sales presentation. They showed the parts, and the motor and battery set-up is identical to their previous two "City" trains. The remotes on those trains will run the Disney train but they can only run one train at a time
5) $20 for a box of extra tracks. The tracks are compatible with the tracks from the two previous "City" sets.
6) I had concerns about the wheels on the unpowered locomotive (The motor is in the tender). But when I inspected the completed model, they seem to be sturdy and well-made.
7) $4 apiece for a variety of Disney figures that are about the right size for the train and station.
