I would disagree here. With the good part assortment in hard to get colors,
that background would no doubt sell very well. Not to display the engine but
to cannibalize for parts. (I know Allan, you do not buy just for the sake of
parts. I assume that is why, despite suggesting people will break down the
engine for parts, you did not think of that.)

Well I made my initial reaction to the comotion clear here:

What I wonder is, maybe they are planing to "carry forward the momentum" as you
suggest. (hoping and praying) Only time will tell though. You are totally
right about TLC not needing the gimick to sell this set well.
