Precisely. No normal person thinks that way. And it's bass-ackwards thinking like that which makes me wonder if Lionel even has a clue what's being shipped each month -- not to mention what's being manufactured next. I'm convinced they don't. And that's pretty sad.

Case in point... My current favorite item I'm tracking on the shipping schedule is an O-Gauge item: 6-27092 CSX Heritage 60' Boxcar. It's as old as time, still hasn't been delivered, and the shipping schedule indicates July 2014 even though it's now October 10th. What does that mean? I can only conclude that nobody at Lionel has a clue if/when that item will ever be produced.

Staggers the mind.
