There has been alot of talk about the classic train again lately, so I
grabbed my shop at home catalogu to give it a look.
First, I still do not like it based the same reasons everyone else
doesn't like it, but economically...
3 pairs of wheel sets at $3.50 = 10.50
4 pairs of magnetic couplers at 3.50 = 14.00
1 train engine = 27.50
spare parts alone.... $ 52.00
Which leaves $14 for the rest of the model (counting minifigs at $1 ea)
we are down to $11 for the rest of the model.
Oh why oh why did they put blue glass in the coach! If it was clear I
would not be debating my next purchase!

it is a special set so normal rules about sale life expectancy to do not
apply.
