I think this is my biggest problem with the line. I am sure it is fun for kids
but it is the "in thing" in play trains right now. There seem to be 100
different IR/Remote control trains for kids out there (And most are
significantly cheaper than the LEGO Train). I just fear they are entering a
crowded market.
I also don't like the trend of copying other companies products. Other
companies are supposed to copy LEGO. LEGO now has a Fisher Price Air Plane and
Fisher Price Train.
