Hey Y'all:

Taking a tip from another Lugnut, I ask:

How many cypress trees would you order if they came back as an accessory
offering?

At a price point of approx. $0.75 USD each, I would order 200 minimum.

I'd order a whooooooole freakin' lot!  :D

100 to start, more later, for sure.

I'm just not seeing that as a "lot". Certainly it's not a whole woodlot
because it isn't a lot of wood. Forests have thousands of trees. Can you see
a whole module carpeted with an assortment of these, the smaller ones, J1's
trees, etc?

Most train show layouts nowadays look somewhat "Kansas"ish... a few trees
and shrubs here and there but no vast forests. (note that this is a problem
for regular MR too)

Where I am going with that is that .75 is an inhibiting price point for the
quantity that I would REALLY like to order should they come out.

:-)
