“The set consists of a long train. It can be divided into three parts: The first portion of the train consists of an engine, and the pilots seat, in which Tony Twister sits. The second car consists of a small compartment with a balcony behind that, and what appears to be an... More observatory on top of the compartment. The third car is mainly taken up with another compartment.”

“Time Cruisers was an odd and bizarre theme, but it made up for that with the Twisted Time Train. This set has a lot of great pieces from the Fright Knight shields, to the ghost minifigs. The train is also very cool and the detail of this set sure gives this set its name. 5... More out of 5 for a fantastic set.”
