Doesn't it strike anyone else as odd that this VERY American set shoud show

Not that I'm saying that it won't be here or anything, just pointing out the
humor (?) in the situation.

At Brickfest™ 2001 the reissuing of the Metroliner and Club Car was
announced.  The boxes were shown and they were given as  door prizes (if I
remember correctly...).

Perhaps Mr Justus might have similar plans for BricksWest™ 2002 - announce
and debut the Santa Fe Super Chief (Item #: 10020).  I do not think the
timing is coincidental...  A big annoucement like this, plus announcing the
reissuing of Breezeway Cafe and Pizza to Go would certainly give a great
lead in to a Question and Answer session.  The perfect answer to "What have
you done for us lately?"  Hats off to you Mr. Justus!  (is it too early to
say thank you?)

See, that's what I was thinking too...with dread.

'Cause that means that OUR big surprise is gone...leaked if you will...as
bad as Time Canada leaking the new iMac last month the night before it was
revealed at MacWorld San Francisco. 8..?(

Ah well...them's the breaks I suppose. Sometimes (like this and Dan
Siskind's BlackSmith Shop) I wish this community WEREN'T quite so on the
ball...but, there you go.
