@Csxcellent posted:While I’d argue that it’s $20-50 too much, this is a big jump in detail for the lc+2.0 line. They did run the lionmaster sd80, but everything else has very basic post war levels of detail. With that said, I kind of like the NW2.
Remember, Lionel has raised the prices of LC+ by 20- $50 with every year. 2019 saw $479 for LC+ locomotives. 2020 saw $499, 2021and it’s $549 for a LionChief Plus locomotive. Part of this is obviously currency fluctuations as the products are imported. Part of these increases is inflation and part is distribution costs due to rising transportation costs.
Customers complain about pricing regardless if goes up or down. In my experience if a price goes down there’s always guy complaining it wasn’t a big enough change. No one is forcing you to spend any of your money.
