I am excited about Lionel new catalog but I am really not comfortable pre ordering now after what happened with the J class. Lionel said they would do an announcement regarding the color issue but they have not still said anything. Does anyone feel the same? Don't think it right that we have to blindly buy something without knowing what we are receiving in the end?

Sadly with Lionel over the past few years it’s buyer beware. You really are rolling the dice on what you are going to get.
Lionel pre-order is hit or miss. I'm just getting back into the hobby after a ten year hiatus and been through two pre-order cycles with Lionel. So far i've never been burned by waiting until things have come out and I've been able to read reviews on this and other forums. Always been able to find a dealer with what I was looking for. Bought my vision line challengers from dealers with my eyes wide open to the "defects" everyone was flagging.
