Something else besides the Internet. Something new gets released or announced and gets put under a bright light and intense scrutiny by all parties for better or worse.A Manufacter who announced a choo choo for example has to be sweating bullets as various forums tear apart the new engine LONG before it actually gets produced and hits the hobby shop.Success or Failure of a choo choo model or any model sometimes rest on how it performed via video or other considerations.Continued survival of the model being produced will depend on people's feedback. You can almost see if a item is goot, or junk with issues before you spend a penny with a little searching.Finally but not least, finding that choo choo at a price you are willing to pay instead of FULL MSRP or even your local hobby shop's price can save you money... particularly the part about sales taxes. Not having to pay taxes sometimes makes the sale.Dont worry about me, I keep two hobby shops busy and lots of internet stuff all year. There is enough to go around.The other side of the coin, the Internet can communicate one buyer's desire for a very specific choo choo and reach out to the USA or even the world and find that choo choo and have it shipped.That did not exist 15 years ago.
