Also, every entry level train does not have to be thought of as a gateway into this as a hobby.  It's okay if it truly is juts a toy for play value, with limited or no upgrade ability.    I know tons of people/families who just have a simple oval with a cheap train, and that's all they want.  This new product is perfect for them.    They're not worried about electro-couplers, or ability to run with TMCC/DCS, etc.

Unfortunately there are those who want it all.  Remember Lionel offered the LC sets because folks didn't want the "complicated" remotes and just wanted a train that went.  Lionel gave it to them and then they wanted to operate several of these engines in one remote.  Lionel gave it to them.  Then they wanted more features...so on and so on.  Now we have LC+2.0.  Back to 1 step below Legacy.

Hopefully Menard's can keep those folks in check.  There is definitely a market for their offering.
