Yes, they sure do. They love seeing threads like "Lionel should make..." Easy picking.

Find a used past issue FEF. Prices are already dropping, one sold this past weekend for about $600 (the hard to find black version!). Another sold for $650 last friday. Two days prior to the catalog release a Grey FEF (easier to find) sold for $850!
