I do not to see Lego doing sets based on it.
Of course everyone loves the big elaborate train layouts at shows, but only a tiny subset of those people have the time, interest, money, and space to do their own setups, add rolling stock ,etc. It really is a niche product for LEGO, one in which they currently don't see enough potential sales in to invest in
The down side is that getting to ride in the real deal probably costs as much as the two sets and the power functions, and you've got nothing to show for it at the end of the day except a ticket stub.
Then there are the model trains aimed at an older, collector demographic, (#10219, #10194, #10233, the Santa Fe sets, and so on), but they don't have an accompanying system of track or functions to run them on. Sure you can purchase track separately, but to make the kind of intricate model train set ups like you see in hobby shops would require a lot of MOCing. Otherwise, all you'd have would be a plain, flat circuit of track on your dinner table.
I really wish they'd bring out a range of train (and track/scenery/buildings) sets designed to be used together in a modular fashion with power functions, aimed at a hobbyist/collector level, imitating the Architecture range in terms of presentation as well as the way those sets take pride in the history and artistry of their subjects.
US are sold out online, and LEGO [email protected] is sold out. I checked the local LEGO store here in Nashville this morning, and they're sold out. Hope I didn't miss out on this set. :(
And if anyone has a spare one in the US they're willing to sell, PM me, It'd be much appreciated. :)
I have never ordered the Town Hall from any place, so it is not an issue where they think I've surpassed a limit.
Its not even been out two years has it?

Oh Well... The TH is my least favorite modular anyways and I still got a free xmas promo out of it. I'll sleep alright tonight.
Im guessing we will likely know if in 30 days if they are back or gone for good.
I know this could be heresay, but just passing it on...
"In 1977, the senior execs at 20th Century Fox made an astonishingly short-sighted decision. They signed over all product merchandising rights for any and all Star Wars filmsto George Lucas – in exchange for a mere $20,000 cut in Lucas’ studio paycheck. The combined revenue from merchandising is estimated to have exceeded three billion dollars, and continues to grow annually, making it the most lucrative deal ever struck between an individual and a corporate studio in entertainment history."
Bad decision? I think so.
