Myself No!,
It is the only way to get some of the larger engines at a great price. My last 5 steam engines have all been blowouts and most of them have whistle steam.
Yea if I paid full price I may be upset at the blowouts but for the most part it's a win-win, Lionel gets rid of excessive inventory and some of us get some great trains at about 40-50% off.
For myself I hope they continue, maybe at the end of the year I can pick up the Mohawk, and maybe the GS64.

I'm not YET, I'm still waiting for those" k line tooled" berks to get blown out at $700. They're still holding at over $1000, not selling but not dropping in price yet either.
Thats was my last preordered loco, I've found its better to wait just to see what the defects/shortcomings are so I'm not disappointed. The preorder dicounts aren't as good as they were a few years ago to warrant even doing so.
Of course I am mad I don't have the funds to take advantage of the blowouts right now
Like david1, it's the only way I can afford things.
ive been seeing some pretty good blowouts right here on the ogrr buy-sell forums-latest one:mikes premier big boy-$450-are you kidding me!-jim
