Trainfreek409 Please tell us what you know that the cyber hobby stores aren't cutting us in on.

The list was begun back when Lionel advertised availability as Aug 2005. As of this week, my source still holds to that delivery date. And no, I'm not holding my breath on this or anything like it - been there, done that too many times. Fortuantely, there's no money involved at this point.

Thanx!

Next month? I wouldn't get your hopes up...

$203.71 when I looked, not bad knowing that some went for $500.

I wonder if Lionel plans to sell the 2 add-on cars for the PE next year as well. I've heard some talk of them being a one year only thing.

It is 92 degrees here today in the shade, so I thought I would try to cool off by taking a look at the prices the Polar Express was selling for on Ebay. I found this listing, with 19 bids.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5988951376&category=4148&ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1

I would say they haven't really increased or decreased in price over the last 6-8 months. I suppose when it gets nearer the 25th of December, the price will rise.

Stay cool. [:)]
