Update – I received an email back from Lionel stating they would forward my concern to the appropriate department. No response as of yet. Then I called, got transferred to someone in sales. Basically they told me they missed their forecast. I asked how that is possible when most of this stuff is done with Pre-orders. They told me that sometimes they produce prior to receiving the orders. Of course there is nothing this person could do for me over the phone outside of providing numbers of dealers throughout the country. After speaking with several dealers, the consensus is that they were “cut” by approx. 50%. If I missed my forecast by 50%, I’d loose my job. I can’t be angry with my LHS, I just switched to them after the death and closure of my former LHS. They took care of their long time flyer guys and I would have expected the same. It’s not like this item is an ad on car or B unit. This is the set! Sorry for the novel, but if enough guys are upset with this, maybe they produce run #2. I know, no shot-but I can dream
