Ouch, that is painful for this tightwad to hear (I think there is probably one
Lugnet person cheaper than I, somewhere in upstate N.Y.).

So I went to the new huge Toys R Us at Times Square, the one with the
four-story Ferris wheel inside (it was open!).

I picked up my second choice, the 4561 train set.  I like less modern ones
better, but this will be fun to play with while I put together an order at
S@H.

Even if money is no object I suggest following market.shopping periodically.
Those 4561's are around at Targets for anywhere from $99 down to $32 (yeah,
HTF but my NLS managed).  Cuz once you get going you'll be spending WAY lots on
LEGO and you're going to want all the bargains you can get!

BTW it can take quite a while for your membership to go through, although I
think it's getting a little better now.
