I'm looking forward to the catalog. While I have had some issues with some recent releases, we need to look forward and see what comes out. If we are going to come out negative before the catalog even goes live, that serves nobody. Let's keep positive. While I have almost everything I want and need, I always look to add to my collection. Catalog release times are always a lot of fun. Personally I think the folks at Lionel have learned a lot over the last year so I am looking forward to a better year. If things are incorrect, rather than shock and aw, try a less lethal approach. I guess I am trying to keep the half full attitude rather than half empty.
Marty,
Half full or half empty isn't relevant. How's Lionel trending is my concern. Better or worse? Can they end all the color/quality issues of these past few years?
