Before you buy
The Explorers' Arctic Polar Express Train is a fantastic addition to the LEGO Arctic theme. This set combines the fun of trains with the thrill of arctic exploration, featuring a remote-controlled locomotive and a host of exciting accessories.
This set is perfect for LEGO enthusiasts aged 7 and up who love trains and adventure. With a good piece count and play features, it offers an engaging building experience and plenty of opportunities for imaginative play. The inclusion of Johnny Thunder is a great nod to classic LEGO adventures.
Skip this if you prefer static display models or are looking for a highly challenging build. While fun, the build is geared towards a younger audience. Consider the LEGO City Cargo Train 60198-1 for a similar but different train experience.

The Reddit community largely believes the promotional image for the Arctic Polar Express Train (60470-1) suffered from poor photo editing rather than AI generation, specifically citing a distorted skateboard. Users are more surprised that the flawed image passed through multiple levels of marketing approval.
The primary concern revolves around a poorly edited promotional image, with many suspecting a rushed Photoshop job, especially concerning a distorted skateboard. Redditors find it surprising that such an image was approved by the marketing department.
