The sooner a LEGO Direct item becomes unavailable, the sooner that item
begins to show up on eBay at inflated prices. Isn't that one of the things
LEGO Direct was supposed to help stop?
I am personally against any sort of 'Limited Edition' products. They only
reward people with immediate buying power and don't always end up with true
fans. I believe in the long run the company would do well to keep this
terrific set in production as long as possible. It is a good ambassador for
their products and their image.
I'm not a train fan in the least, but I'll be buying one of these sets for
my desk at work.

If the sales for this division continue to be strong, I suspect this
artificial limit of how many sets they can release could be raised or
eliminated.
