Reply to "(07/12/21) SOLD OUT! Santa Fe F3 Diesel Locomotive from Menards!"

It seems somewhat obvious that, after this 'Beta test' version has been through the wringer and Menards has adjusted the product accordingly, the Santa Fe version will be among the first volume releases. It probably won't matter to the folks willing to pay wallet-dumping prices for one of these first 200, but it should temper the mania. And, if the hobby's 70-year track record with Warbonnet F's is any indication, it will probably be run again, and again, and again, ...'ad ubiquitum'.

So, I say, let 'em light their cigar with a couple $100 bills to capture a Beta. I'll wait patiently for the 'Gamma to Omega' versions.

Anyone else remember when Ambroid released their first "1 of 5000" kit? Wonder how many trips to Tahiti were funded by resale of those other 4,999? (Dad built one...a Christmas gift back then in the Basswood Age...I still have it...he did a beautiful job on it!)

The consumer is still king. Sometimes nutty, but still 'king'.

TEHO.
