  I don't know that they have had time to ship and arrive at homes yet, lol. I know there wasn't one in the stores yet as of two days ago. The shelves were already very barren. Not half of what was left the year before. The one here had 6 buildings. Red Owl, Pepsi, & Mustang Service were lit & on display, one boxed of each left.  The unlit Red Barn, Residential Home, & Burnt Engine House were there 1 each. (plus ho versions of various)

I too would love to see a review/opinion of this accessory once someone receives one. 

My assumption is that since it is February, these probably won't be showing up at any Menards stores until next Christmas season. My local Menards did get the barn that came out back in November I think, but it never got the service station that came out after Christmas. I always love seeing these buildings in the store and buying them "off the shelf" even though I can easily buy online and have it shipped to the store.

I think this building could be added to, change it's appearance through some good old scratch building or kit bashing. I was at Hobby Lobby today and seen some styrofoam half spheres, I thought .. Hey, the roof to the reactor building!

I didn't think I'd be interested in buying this new release, but, after reading some of the cool and funny ideas, I'm thinking I just might. Do some adding on in the form of scratch building and making it bigger with a reactor building and a few more cooling towers .... Three Mile Island'ish looking! Find a way to have the towers emit stream vapor ... have Homer around there somewhere, too!

I received my Menards nuclear power station and power supply today. It arrived safely with no shipping damage. It is packed securely in its plastic case and side reinforcements. There was handle with care labels on the shipping box.  It is nicely decorated, typically as other Menards buildings. The reactor building has a revolving light which is quite "unique" to say the least. The left side of the reactor building has nicely detailed transformers which also light up. Both the transformer and cooling tower have nice fences with various signs. A very nice building overall. My only critique is I wish the cooling tower was a bit taller. A nice touch would be to add a smoke unit to the cooling tower.  A definite attention getter for any layout.
