I've had this kit put together since 1980. Unfortunately it's missing the radiator fan. Kit number 8860.

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

Thanks for the list.
I could probably scrounge the parts from my Son's Lego collection if need be. It's been this way for decades.

A new set is going to be released on April 1, assuming LEGO doesn't play April Fool's jokes, for all the long time Disney fans out there.

Micky & Minnie Steamboat Willie set for only $90!

This part sounds cool - The 2 steam pipes move up and down and the 2 paddle wheels rotate when the boat is pushed along.

This may be closer to you. The next time you're in the Minneapolis area, check out the Lego Store at Mall of America. Quite a few excellent displays there.
