and where DID he get those pieces? One wonders.
- I think they *have* seen them. OK, I know "they" have seen them. Jake
reads the same newsgroups we do and so do others. It takes time for the
marketroids to get it though... we have to help LD make their numbers when
they give us good product and help them fix their mistakes quickly when they
don't.

For train guys too... what good are trains without
towns/villages/mountains/bridges to run them through? Look at any show pic
set of late and you cannot help but know that architecture is our passion
too. Buildings, glorious buildings as far as the eye can see. Oh, and mountains.

To clarify, it's not so much my feelings as what we've heard them say. They
have an SKU capacity problem. Personally, my feelings on SKU's are "I wish
they had scads more SKUs than they did". I am convinced that someone good
with manufacturing resource planning and supply chain/logistics software
could waltz in and reorg that problem away. But that's just me. Till then we
have to suffer and plan ahead (SKUs go away... and sometimes don't come back!)
Well, even so, I can think of a bunch of SKUs they can eliminate as far as I
am concerned to make room for our desires, eh? (one hint, they start with G
and are at 50% off already at S@H despite being introduced this year)
More doors and windows and arches! Oh my!
