Legoboy22 Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Is anyone else disappointed by the helicopter though? I love the set, the crane, the engine especially, but the helicopter just breaks the realism for me. Maybe I'm too old. I'd prefer they went back to containers, as those are fab and the introduction of new ones would add a load of variety to the existing stock. The hopper car is great but I'd want dozens of the to replicate a proper freight loco. Love the red engine though. The bootleggers have picked that one up too and for good reason. It's a great design. I'd like to have a set of red passenger cars pulled by it instead of having it as a DMU type thing. i agree with you and i would replace the heli with an oil tanker because oil tankers have nice circular looks I just love and have the Backhoe and crane to move the scrap! Then you have a scrapyard lego set... I would make the helicopter seem old and rusty with pieces missing for a scrapyard train but great idea:)

Bricktrain Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 60098 is in the stores here. I have a couple of red versions of 7939 so probabaly wont buy this set. The backhoe and hopper I do like though.

Dread Pirate Rob Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Like many of you I love the new locomotive and hopper, so I added a few bits and modded the helicopter flat bed into a grey era inspired guards van. I also used the red 4x1 bit from the sides of the other flat bed. Has anyone else started modding this set yet? I can't wait to see the scrap steel train mentioned above.

But i also don't have the set:) don't know what would be better: 4559 rebuild for power functions or a 60052 that would be most likely be canalised for the power functions. Im also very curious for the scrap set!

Nice job, that looks very good and realistic. It is much better than that helicopter. Edited June 21, 2015 by Legoboy22
Crazywater Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 60098 joins the fleet :) Looks good. I presume you got that direct from lego and not Smyths.
davidmull Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Looks good. I presume you got that direct from lego and not Smyths. Smyths €159
Crazywater Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Smyths €159 That's handy. Ohhh I better not go into Smyths anytime soon!
Dread Pirate Rob Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I found a use for the one lonely hopper car in the heavy hauler set. Turns out it fits an old Iphone perfectly. Now I don't have to buy a Gopro to do track cam! photo by Canvas Rails, on Flickr!

Rail Co Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 To answer to all of the Americans out there we are finally getting in on August first! Link: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Heavy-Haul-Train-60098 Hope that helps! -RailCo
dr_spock Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Coming to Canada too for $239.99 CAD on Aug. 1st. http://shop.lego.com/en-CA/Heavy-Haul-Train-60098
marook Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 To answer to all of the Americans out there we are finally getting in on August first! Hmm, it's in the DK online shop since.. june first? But the shop catalogs does not have it - they stil show the old cargo train! Might be Online Only here in DK or EU? If that is the case, the it's not gonna be a hit with the kids.. as they say is their 'target audience'! Wonder why...
talos Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I saw it popped up as coming 1st Aug. too... there is a whole slew of sets that have been out for a while in every other market than N. America... and just debuting now in August here. I bet its a supply metering tactic they are doing..or measuring the popularity of sets before releasing them in the USA..
Dread Pirate Rob Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 60052 (Blue Cargo Train) has just sold out on the Australian Lego Shop Online site. If anyone still wants one this may be our last chance. It didn't go on sale before it went:(
jrathfon Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 FYI the heavy haul is for sale at the Downtown Disney lego store in Orlando, so it's state-side.

It didn't go on sale before it went:( Sold out only means they don't currently have any stock. They may still restock it. They tend to mark sets that are not coming back as retired or remove them from the site completely. Don't know about Australia, but it's printed in the fall catalog for DK, so it's not totally going away just now... It is in the Australian second half catalogue too, so I'd expect it to be available till at least Christmas online. Edited July 23, 2015 by peterab
CDM Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 The Heavy Haul train 60098 is available from Toys R Us (USA) for $199.99 w/ free domestic shipping. It appears to be website only for now but it may be popping up in stores too. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=57106586
Legoboy22 Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Is there any hope at all for a new creator train this year or is it confirmed that there will not be one.
