That makes sense.. That way the dealers with no integrity will be rewarded for going against Lionel's wishes.
It's the dealers with the alleged "no integrity" that will continue to take orders and send Lionel money... I'm sure Lionel has no problem with that.

Escape/R, thanks for that back-handed compliment. Sounds like we have our "GO TO" person for Lionel policies and procedures. Why then ship cases of printed catalogs to your dealers more than 2 weeks in advance of the online version release date and then expect this small band of retailers to put them in the corner for 2 weeks and not attempt to generate sales while the train hobby economy continues to contract? These same small business owners must now adhere to MAP restrictions, larger minimum order quantities, less quality control and related limited parts and arguably one of the biggest fails in company/dealer integrity: the significantly below dealer cost direct sale blowouts via Amazon.
FYI, your ride is waiting...
