Yeah! But does anyone have a clue to why this is happening? First, I notice Trainworld lowering BLI prices, then Tony's Train Exchange. Now Standard Hobby. Each dealer getting lower and lower. Its great for people who wished for BLI products but the price was too far out there.
But is somthing wrong at the company?

Clearing out the older stock to make room for the new models?
The sale WAS posted on BLI's site about he same time Tony's posted it, so it appears to be a FACTORY thing - so anyone NOT giving the sale price is making a few extra dollars on each item. [:D]

It's no longer there, but it was. Along with a second announcement saying it was extended.

It pretty much covers the existing items, nt the new releases coming out, which I why I think it's mostly to clear old stock.
