A good selection of starter sets

maybe a Transformers or gi joe or even star wars themed train or why not Gobots

more tier 4 engines this time for lionchief plus

a lionchief bullet train

Star Wars would be great, but even with it's popularity, I wonder the size of the cross section of people who are both Star Wars and train enthusiasts.

I liked Gobots as a kid, primarily because they were for the most part more affordable versions of Transformers.  (the ones I had were all mostly small action figure like (which at the time you could probably buy for under $5 per figure), rather than huge like some the Transformer toys (many of which were more like the $30 range, IIRC)). I had probably 15 or 20 Gobots, never would have been able to have that many Transformers (both for size and cost reasons).

I would assume with the current popularity of the Transformers line of movies, toys, etc., most folks would probably see Gobots as an attempted rip-off of Transformers.  (I do not off the top of my head know the history to know which one was technically "first" to market, and I did not try to look it up)
