If there is any logic ( and I assume there would be), then it would be
that the stores don't *want* the train stuff to sell. For example, look
at Target's luck with selling the 4561. Now I have a pretty good idea
how well they sold at retail prices, because they end up blowing out $129
set for $34. Perhaps Target considers the 4561 a type of lose-leader and
doesn't care about 1 set. But a whole train line?
And speaking of the whole train line, I think that the current offerings
in terms of sets are pretty weak. Now, if TLC started selling cool sets
and made some improvements to the trains line, then I think it would be a
different story. That is my hope, and, eventually, one would see the
LEGO trains line sold in hobby stores as well (8 &14 wides:-)
Hey, a guy can dream, eh?
