Reply to "LCCA keeps commonfolk out of the game with another $100 Christmas boxcar"

Pretty cheap ticket to Tahiti 50 years from now.

As a side comment... I've been a TCA member for 18 years.  They have annual dues, too.  In addition, they offer special national convention commemorative rolling stock...at similar 'oof!' prices.  I've passed on most of those, but there were a couple that tickled my fancy, I immediately signed up, and the price was no object.  It's simply a choice we should make...for the family, über alles!

This Christmas car 'thing'...gotta get one every year, or else!...is something you're either dedicated to, budgeted for, or no.  Frankly, I think the 2021 LCCA Christmas car deco is AWESOME!...worth a premium, for sure, over the annual Lionel catalogued car.  And, no, I'm not a member of LCCA, and I won't regret not being able to order one.  Ditto the Lionel catalog car.

In keeping with John's (rattler21) comment above, I would take my concern to the next LCCA meeting's Q&A opportunity. 

Finally, postal (USPS) rates are scheduled to increase...AGAIN!... later this month.  Pump prices of fuel around here are a solid $1.00 above last year.  Milk prices, beef prices, lumber prices...you name it...are all higher.  The squeeze is on.  We're all encouraged to reconsider our daily spending choices.

There's no altruism mandates among the hobby providers that I'm aware of.

It is what it is.
