Thanks Charlie. Nice to see that the Halloween set will be out before Halloween.
does not look like the pumpkin jack o lantern 6-37081 will make it.
As always, thanks for the update Charlie.

Oh gosh... I wonder if they'll attempt to keep the online shipping schedule updated at that pace!!!
I did notice a bunch of scale rolling stock (TankTrains, Auto-carriers, etc...) slipped to December 2013. And a favorite of mine I've been waiting for -- the CN Piggyback Set -- moved all the way out to December 2014. Yet the locomotives for the set have been produced for quite some time now. Gotta be a nightmare to coordinate all this stuff half a world away.
Thanks for the update, Charlie. It's much easier to see a list of stuff that HAS shipped, rather than scrutinize Lionel's online shipping schedule to decipher those items that have been REMOVED from the list. Still boggles my mind.

On the subject of which, there is a freshly updated shipping schedule posted today on the Lionel website.
NYC Water Level set now shows Dec 14. I give up.

Oh my... I missed that one!!! That's also another set whose locomotives were already produced earlier in 2013. Lionel is CLEARLY having issues/challenges coordinating the manufacture of its scale rolling stock these days.
At first I thought the CN Piggyback date was a misprint, but hearing another premium scale set is pushed out that far on the calendar make it less likely a type-o.
There's a growing trend that more items are approaching/exceeding the 2-year mark for delivery from the time they were first catalog'd. Even the CSX Heritage box car can't seem to get production time on the factory floor!!! Guess we better get accustomed to it.

I like to think continued delays represent efforts to improve quality control. Makes waiting much more fun!

I just down load the PDF file put the 6- number in the search box and when the number does not show I know my item has shipped.
can also do it in the search box on the Lionel shipping site. takes longer though.
Any word on what lionel is shipping this coming week Oct 21, 2014
Thanks Charlie, also your store gave me an update on the Neil Young Signature Series yesterday as Jan/Feb, command control system by Christmas, and TrainWorx 100th Anniversary GCT very soon by November?
