sure we do. on another thread Charlie Nassau posted pictures of his pallets of 990's someone enlarged the picture and some of the dates were feb and march of this year. you can bet that lionel did not just sit on those for 5 months. and I would not believe lionel sent them back to china they were opened and fixed here.
