LEGO Creator 10233 Horizon Express: Did you say TGV?

Train fans will be happy: LEGO announces exclusive set 10233 Horizon Express in the all new LEGO Creator range Expert Series. 

This is obviously a train reproducing the 1st generation French TGV, with the TGV mention less on the sides of the drive unit. LEGO also mentions in its press release that it is an interpretation of a passenger train, electric and modern ... (... this highly detailed LEGO® interpretation of a modern, high-speed electric passenger train ...)

On the program: A motor with two passenger cars (the whole is 79 cm long), 6 minifigs including a woman driver, a steward and 4 passengers (two women and two men) and the possibility of motorizing everything with the Power kits Functions 8878 (Rechargable Battery Box) 8887 (Transform 10V DC) 8884 (IR Receiver) 8879 (IR Speed ​​Remote Control) and 88002 (Train-Motor) and 8870 (Lights).

This set of 1351 pieces will be marketed in January 2013 at a price of 99.99 € (In Germany, no price for France) and $ 129.99 in the USA.
