That’s actually a lot better than I was expecting it to be. Might actually be a purchase now.

Not a Harry Potter fan but that train looks good. If I got that by mistake I would be putting it straight on Ebay tonight, probably could buy two or three castles afterwards.
It seems that HW Express hadn’t yet been released. Showed my wife this one we might pick it up whenever released. Rumor $500 retail and over 5k brick set.

Apparently this occurred with multiple orders of the Castle that shipped to New Zealand. Some knucklehead at Lego goofed big time.

Not only had it not been released, it hadn't even been official announced!
While the set looks great, I wouldn't look forward to the X 50 instruction for the railroad ties 
Wow, apparently! I got my Castle today and was kind of hoping I'd get that set by accident since it sounds like it's going to cost more, ha ha.

I'm still holding out on the Castle for Lego to offer better promo incentives. Hoping it doesn't sell out first lol.

Just a bit more at $500.
I love trains and it's a nice set, but definitely not enough of a Harry Potter fan to consider it myself. But I'm seeing that it seems priced too high even for big fans of the series.

From what I’m reading in the comments, it can’t be motorized and doesn’t fit on regular Lego tracks so it’s an easy pass for me.

Yikes those are both deal breakers. Surprised Lego would release a train set this way. Too bad because the train looks nice but I'm happy to not have yet another large expensive set I have to cough up the cash for.

Does anyone know any links etc to be able to motorise the Sandcrawler (75059)?

With the price of fuel I was thinking about riding around in mine too.

It looks like the brick built tracks are pretty similar to the Crocodile train set. Couldn't that one go on regular tracks?
That I don’t know. I only have the Christmas train.

Zavvi has the DeLorean in stock for the original $170 price plus free shipping. Possibly the best deal you will ever find for this set again being as Lego jacked it up to $200 after it's been unavailable for months.
Zavvi looks like a minefield of bad consumer scores and reviews. Has anyone even had success buying from them?

Haven't had an issue with them yet. Countless blu rays and merch always arrive on time.
