Tomica Hypercity mega station set, anyone have this one?

I recently won a lot that has the Tomica Mega Station set. While it is really too late to back out I would like to see if anyone has this set or maybe has any opinions on it? I have watched several YouTube videos where this set is in layouts and it is one that I was envisioning in my layout. Even though I do not have or collect the Tomica cars, hot wheels could always be used I guess?

What are your thoughts? Here is the set I am talking about:

i have two sets, and while i havent used them, they look a neat addition to a layout.

one thing to check is the one you have bid on has two short straights that are a round end connector on one end and standard dovetail on the other.
if it doesnt, i have a spare set that i bought on a whim one day, lol.

they are in this photo between the clear tunnel and the station

Thanks sunhuntin. Yes, the one I and waiting on does have them. I was actually watching another one but it was missing one of those pieces. It was about $15 less though.

Got the set in the mail the other day, finally had a minute to get it into the layout. I like this one, just adds a bit to the overall feel. The set came with the green and purple train. The purple was listed as broken because the switch was snapped off. Got it back up and going. Also all of the cars came with it. They are all hot wheels/matchbox and not Tomica, but still work out. Also all of the Pla-kids. I am assuming some came with the trains/set but are any of them rare?

congrats on the set... looks good as part of the layout.

none of those plakids came with the set i have that was bought brand new, but mine was a tomica hypercity english release, a japanese release may have been different, if there was one?

actually, i think the purple and green came with the respective trains, not sure on the rest.
