I agree, I think the subject line could have been chosen a bit more clearly.

I also have a question about the images of the different radii track? Are these
new images or just recolors of the images that Ben Fleskes did? If they're new,
how do they differ from Ben's work? If they're Ben's work, was credit given to
Ben and to the others he based his work on?

That aside...

I would love to see LEGO step up and play trains with the big boys by enhancing
the track line. I just don't see it happening, but I would love it. I think we
fool ourselves when we think this market is big enough to support the tooling by
LEGO under current ROI assumptions (we assume they're using). It's not,
according to my guess work. That's not to say it couldn't be profitable if we
were willing to pay higher prices, or if LEGO could figure out how to sell more
successfully.
