So? Maybe it comes with smell-o-vision too. It's still $125.


No, it's not. Read my last...pre-order at 94....order a bunch...have a "chain"!
With a link, even!


Oh, goody, goody! No.

You guys aren't helping. We in Arizona need help with this one. If I am the only one pre-ordering it won't happen.

At $125 I'd be doubtful. Should not be hard to scratchbuild if given the graphics, :wink: :wink:


You could scratch build one for Wayne for $50..... Right. :wink: :wink: :mrgreen:

Look at it this way. Don't order one, then you can complain on various forums about how bad the graphics are on the ones actually purchased by others!
Think of all the fun you'll have doing that!

I have better things to do with my spare time, like re-aligning my socks in the drawer to all be lined up magnetically north.

There do seem to be several that do that over and over with every new product, especially if it is made by Lionel.

But rest assured if The Boy Genius hisownself made it, not only would there be no complaints, but those complainers would call down Fire and Brimstone upon your head if you complained about something from Him.

I got it, Dave.
Somehow it reminds me of our present political situation in the U.S.

It's incredible what a pass the Little General gets. But I've talked with several people in the store who clearly recognize that his company is in it purely for the money and couldn't care less about putting out a quality product or delivering something of value to a customer. Once they have your cash, you can go f*** yourself (as far as they're concerned).

I think Nassau had these for around $80.

Perfect price point.

I ordered a BUNCH of SP stuff. Three SP locs, trains, cars, - the order just went on and on. PLUS the Taco Stand @ <$80.

I'm sure it will all end up on my doorstep at Christmas. I may need a loan.

:D
