"Obviously, you are a die-hard Lionel fan and admirer. I am not. And as far as the Bluebird, Lionel DID mess up. Lionel has also messed up on many other trains they've made over the decades."
Vern, did you read my comment? "I would agree that Lionel should have produced the correct number of dome cars for this set without having to buy additional two-car sets just to achieve the two extra domes that are needed."
Absolutely, I am and have been a Lionel fan since receiving my first Lionel train set as a little kid. However, this does not distort my attempt at some objectivity. I stated my take on perhaps why the correct number of dome cars were not included in the two-pack offerings. Is there perhaps some other explanation other than: "Lionel DID mess up"?
I also have to ask, " Lionel has also messed up on many other trains they've made over the decades" ? Do you really think this is an exclusive club for just Lionel? Here again, some objectivity is needed if you want your comments to be taken seriously.
I have found that taking the high road in making points draws more positive attention.
