i actually purchased this mini-96 with expansion pack back in november, just now getting to use the space after having to clean it out again. obviously i'll continue to purchase mini-96 kits
i'm all for a special edition track!
i might suggest posting a poll asking what color combinations and or features are most desired. i can understand the concern that people might hold off on a purchase if they know a special is pending. i do recall you did post polls ages ago on tile finishes on mzr. this could be something similar, just inquires about alternative tile/rail choices for the future vs. decision making process for a special edition track. btw, we never saw 'ice' tiles or any of the other choices other than the offroad tiles which i used extensively with overland racing.
