Love Legos but why in the WORLD would you ship a set without a box?! You put shipping labels all over the original box AND my son saw it, which completely ruined the Christmas surprise. So thanks for that.

Loved this set. It was my first hidden side set. I ended up buying 2 more just to have in the future to build a better and more built train.

70424 Ghost Train Express undoubtedly includes some interesting details and finds an appropriate balance between realism and eccentricity which feels consistent with the whole Hidden Side theme. Moreover, the transformation functions are excellent, particularly on the focal ghost train locomotive.

This is another great addition to the Hidden Side line-up. I love the haunted functions, especially the wings and the station. They are only let down by the mouth section at the front of the train.
