Looking at what has been published by the major dealers, prices are the same across the board. Basically 10% off Lionel's MSRP, no special "deals".

You need to look harder.  I just ordered an engine at 20% off and rolling stock at 25% off from a forum sponsor.

Not every item has a MAPed price and if you called the dealer directly they can charge whatever they like even if it is MAPed. They just can't post that lower price in print.

I know that train world and mr. muffins have their prices up and they are much better than what Lionel wants. 

Lionel always gets the price they want.

They do seem to OWN us, don't they?

If you buy a Lionel, the dealer buys from Lionel at the price they set.  The MSRP is just that for the retailer a "Suggested Retail Price".  Lionel already got the price they wanted from the dealer.
