Thanks...That's awesome. Right now I am building a random fireworks display for my Toy Box Summit box... A locator to hide the 28 cannons would be really nice right now!!!

Hey, @quinjitsu! You should be allowed to do an announcement through the forums. That would be great!

@Quinnjistu - Do you know if there will be any new rail types? I would love to see some "straight" slopes instead of the ramps with curves. Can you tell what toy I will be working with later today?

I don't think there are any new rail types, as far as shapes go... When you say "straight" slopes, what do you mean?

But there are a bunch of new rail themes coming!

He is asking if there are any straight diagonal rails.

All of the current "hills" are ramps with either steep or shallow curves. I am looking for rails that change elevation like the ramps but do so at a constant slope. Some rails that would take me to a higher or lower spot without the constant dips... I guess the best description would be a smooth angled ascent instead of a bumpy ascent.

Sorry it is hard to describe...

I think I get what you're saying. That would look like \

We don't have those, and I don't think it will ever happen. The toys are built on a grid system so they move and connect up, down, left or right. So having stuff that connects diagonally would be different than the game's system. Hence that's why the sloping rails still connect by the up-down-left-right system, which results in "dips." Make sense?

I thought that would be part of the reason. The ends of the rails could be straight up and down though so it would line up with the rest of the grid.

I don't know if you do any work with wood but it would be like a board with miter cuts on both ends. If you lay the board flat, both ends would be angled ( \===\ ). If you put the board at the proper angle, the ends would be vertical ( |\\\| ) and the center would be angled.

Just something to keep on my wishlist for 4.0! I shall stop pestering now until I have another legitimate question :)

Will the side step camera be able to lock characters to a 2D plane? I'd love side scrolling like the Inside Out play set but without having to put down a bunch of scalable barrier blocks.
