Thanks Harvey, I know that's probably the smartest route to take with the
train set going for over $140 most of the time....I mean c'mon Lego MSRP
is only that....
....people are either greedy or out of touch with reality...I wonder what
kind of train sets are coming out next, if at all.
Has anybody seen the latest S@H. I got the "march edition" and it hinted
at "custom train engine" but had no pics yet. Hopefully, Lego will also put
out some other worth while Train sets...but then I won't be able to say I'm
train complete...
...of course I am not train complete as there are sets I won't buy. I
won't be buying any of the old train stations, they are too big for my
taste. I got the newsest train station (town junior) and it looks pretty
good I think. I won't be getting the newest freight loading station or
train wash....pretty lame designs. Also, the cherry-picker set isn't
worth getting either. It has a neat light that comes with it....but
I don't really like it that much!!
I want to get the train cars (circa 1996), a couple of road n rail haulers,
and a railroad tractor flatbed...
