QUOTE: Originally posted by wrmcclellan It amazes me the amount of empty retail space in local malls and the ludicrous rent they charge per square foot. Top that off with the crapola that the existing small stores sell and then watch the annual turnover of the "crapola" stores. It is extremely unfortunate for all hobbies that toy, RC, train, doll stores and the like cannot survive in a mall due to the costs.
QUOTE: Originally posted by Buckeye Riveter And now a sad story, As I was looking over the display of cars in one of the stores, I heard a small boy about 6 years old tell his mom that he sure wished they had a Polar Express for sale. His Mom acknowledged his comment and they looked at other cars and trains for sale. All I can say is that Lionel really screwed up with the lack of sets. Yes, I have mine, but for us that are really into trains, we hear about new items through the forum grapevine and other sources. The general public is now going into train stores and finding nothing but disapointments. [2c] Train Hobby = [:(]
