Been Looking all over God's green earth for one.  If you have one and want to part with it, or you know where one is for sale, please respond.  I have paypal, credit, and cold hard cash.  Would like it for my circus train.  Thanks Gundy.

I have the christmas version, but I changed it (3 of them) to Let it snow from Seasons greetings and replaced the Santa on top with a snowman.  Also, converted to track power.  I have 3 of these and I am willing to part with one.  I have the santa figure.

 

Make me a generous offer and I will part with one.

Gundy, my parents own a toy store and I just cleaned out their storage unit and came across a bunch of old "NEW STOCK" of LGB trains, New in the Box. They were authorized LGB dealers at one time. I would estimate this stock is from late 2005.

One of the trains I found is an LGB #94605 Pustefix Bubble Blowing Car - Brand New, Still in the Box. Here is the description: 12.00 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

This rare car has a Magician figure on the top that releases "magic" bubbles as the train car rolls along.  It requires 4 AA batteries, not included. One never-opened bottle of Pustefix bubble fluid is included, but sounds to be empty – I’m guessing it has evaporated over time. The original directions and a screwdriver are also still in the box - which looks to have never been opened, except by me (to inspect it). The box is a little beat up, etc. from being in storage, but the contents are otherwise perfect, with the exception that the bubbles are evaporated from the still-sealed bottle. The train itself has never been removed from the box.

I have lots of pictures. Contact me if you are interested ASAP. I was literally listing it on Ebay when I found your post.
