I just purchased the supposedly new Lionel 6-82036 from my LHS which just received it from their distributor. It is in a typical orange Lionel box with each end flap printed with " LCCA 2009- LUXURY DINER- 6-52521". The outer shipping box has a white sticky with the number 6-82036, covering the number 52521. I see the same diner on ebay and the end flaps of the orange box have what seems to be a sticky label with "Luxury Diner 6-82036" on them. What gives?-Did Lionel have some boxes left over from the 2009 LCCA sale of these diners-or was my piece sitting in a distributors place for the last few years, unsold by the LCCA? Who else has purchased this item and what is on your box? Thanks in advance, turtle7.
