Folks here love to make snide remarks re posts they disagree with but consistantly lack the ability to show any convincing, opposing evidence.CNJ831  [/quote]I agree...he has yet to post ANY dollars and cents information that show competition in this hooby.I and my wallet are still waiting....TMT[/quote]Hey dude, I posted 4  links to places selling the Polar Express Disappearing  Hobo car for less than MSRP. The post where the links occur is in this thread. Go look for it. I'm not doing your homework for you.It was what you asked for. If you're too lazy to look for replies to your questions, don't blame those who accomodate your requests.Andre[/quote] I saw your post..and noted that you did not quote the prices...intentionally.Try posting the total cost of each seller to your door and show us how it is competitive...it isn't.My point exactly...and the one that you are trying to avoid addressing.
