I understand that when you have a limited run on an item, it increases its value. On the other hand, the Nscale Shay is as scarce as hen's teeth. My LHS was only allotted 3. All 3 were sold before they were placed on display. I know people who would purchase one in a heartbeat if they could find one. A lot of people never even had a chance to buy one. I did, but let my friend have it because he has been obssessed with Shays for a long time. I only had the chance because I just happened to drop in while they were unpacking the Shays. Still, if I could get another one, I'd like to have it. The past several times I've been at the LHS shooting the breeze, someone has come in right after they found out about the Shay only to be told, not in these words, that "the train had already left the station." I just wondered if someone could explain to me why they made so very few when there is a much larger market for Nscale Shays.
