Are there any good Network Simulators/Trainers out there that support 
IPv6? I want play around with some IPv6 setup.

what are you trying to simulate?
  o control plane?
  o traffic?
  o interfaces and layers 1-3?
  o ...

products which I've recently evaluated for use in network simulation

shunra - latency simulator nework property simulator.
ixia - traffic generation, protocol simulation, control plane traffic
spirent - see above.

all three have v6 support.

makes a big difference
