   Second the prices are extravagent and I have not been able to determine why using my contacts as an Ambassador.

I have a thought... what if these are the new prices for 9V. Shipping through factory would be a good way for Lego to sell 9V trains (there are some potential problems with confusion between systems but it could be made to work) but with 9V being turned into a hobby system it makes sense for Lego to raise the price on the items to keep it viable.

Just a theory but not an impossible one I think.

Yeah I had thought the same thing as well. The problem at the moment is that the same product is currently available through S@H for a lot less. Now if LF Becomes the only source for 9v parts then I guess I couldn’t complain to much as long as the 9v system were still available.

Actually the increase for straight and curved track I could probably live with if I had to. The increase for motors and switches needs a bit of explaining before I go blindly accepting it.

(...) I would expect that the track available through Factory would not continue to be powered rail once the new train system is launched. Kids buying the new IR controlled trains at TRU would expect the same kind of all-plastic track from Lego too. (18 years ago, 22-May-06, to lugnet.market.shopping)
