30 models!

My son loves having a different train every once in a while, and with
instructions for 30 models, this box is guaranteed to deliver fun for
a long time.
We just built the main model plus a large box car, that used up perhaps
3/4 of the pieces including all the wheels. I'm looking forward to
build the other models as well, because I'm very curious to learn some
of the clever building tricks of the many designers behind this box.
Only "problem" is, the train we just built looks so good we do not
yet want to take it apart. But I'm still curious about all
the models. To solve this problem, I ordered a second box. I figured
that with the excellent price/part of this box, 1080 pieces for $49.99
you can never go wrong with ordering a second box anyway. That way
we can keep building the next ones without taking apart whichever train
we like best.
I don't know of any other lego box that has such a good price/part
ratio. But the best part about the hobby train has to be the 30 models!
Usually we build our own designs, but it's also definitely nice to
build from instructions and get something we wouldn't have though of.
That's why I think the instructions add a great deal of value to
this box. Lego should do the same with other boxes as well, add
free additional instructions online for other models you can make
with the pieces in the that box. All that the lego company has
to do is to ask lego fans to build the nicest models they can make
out of the pieces in that box, and then put the instructions on
the web.
The reason to buy a lego instead of other toys is so that you can
rebuild your toy into something else. In that sense, having 30
models makes the hobby train is the most "lego-like" of any lego box.
