Stoshu posted:Thanks Joe.... Sad thing is I already tried Lionel. I had Slinky dog at the Novi train show a couple week a go and showed it to one of the Lionel reps who said they liked it. To submit the idea go to the website and use the "contact us" option. Well I did and it's been 2 weeks and I've heard nothing. I thought It would be great with a toy story train considering Toy Story 4 is coming out. Oh well so I figured I'd just post it and let forum members have fun with it. I wasn't looking to make and money off this, just trying share some fun with the hobby...
Thanks to everyone for their comments. If you make one post it here I'd like to see what you have done....

Hi Bruce,
That's really an insult to direct you to their web site. Remember, these are the same people who brought out that lame Mega Tracks product. They'll throw some Toy Story graphics on a box car at $89 a pop, that's their plan. Lionel is in a excellent position to team with Pixar/Disney, and somehow forget they are toy manufacturers. Well, maybe Bachmann is watching! It would be so simple to produce; half the project is off-the-shelf, they already have the trucks, so just 2 square pieces of metal, screws, and done! Just proves they have no vision or creativity. Even though your idea is in the public domain now, they still could contact you.
Thanks for sharing!!!!
Take care, Joe.
