I also visited the Construction site last year and I was thrilled to find
that they carried the train sets. I also bought a healthy amount of train
stuff. I was great to be able to put my hands on a set and really "see it"
before I bought it!!!!My son was equally thrilled that I came home from my
trip with train stuff.
I can't tell you how many times that we are building a new train layout and
we don't have enough track to finish the job. I would have easily run out to
the local store to buy more but we are forced to buy it from S@H. This takes
atleast a week to arrive in Idaho.
The Lego train sets are very boring with the minimal amount of track that
they come with. Lego could easily enhance the train sets by allowing someone
to sell the accessories.
Why are European stores allowed to sell the train line but the US stores
aren't?
