Probably not, at least for enough years to matter to TLG's bottom line.
My purchases are less than 1/10 of pre-Bley already without the
TrackChange issue, but so far I've bought *TWO* "new" train sets (ones
that involve the new track system, that is), and you won't see me buying
much more than that until some *really* deep clearances hit.
As far as train cars/buildings, however, I'll keep buying the Train
stuff that isn't track-specific, or has so little new track in it that
it takes little storage space while I sell it off.
