This Fri.pm or Sat.pm would be okay also.   Agreed, more people is better.

Haven't been to Walmart recently. Only value packs I know of are the $49.99
ones at Target.  Too steep for me.

This sounds wonderful and would be my preference.

Prefer building to sorting.  HOWEVER, I will sort for Fabuland ;-) !

Mike, if you are able to come could you bring the G2K PNLTC video? I would
like to borrow it/see it.

While I can't imagine having any parts to trade, the rest of you sound like
you do.  Specific elements you are looking for???
I am looking for a train  to buy for my 10 yr old for the holidays.  Starting
at ground zero, so a bit of everything is needed.  Only after I have filled
her request can I think about one for me.

Gosh, I hope this gathering  happens... I am tired of being a "responsible
adult".
