I went to place an order this afternoon with Menards and I noticed the promo has changed from the "fat people" to old fashioned lamp posts. I wonder what happened? Was there some backlash from the P.C. folks? I just found it odd that the promo suddenly changed. I can't see a huge rush on selling through them.

From Menards post a few days ago;
They must have ran out like they thought they would. Today was the cut off day anyway for that promo.
Gosh, as a fat person myself, I was oddly intrigued. My layout reflects who I am, in so many ways, and so I was immediately attracted to the idea of some doppelgangers on the road! :-)
Looks like Menards is selling out on a lot of products due to their low prices. It was stated that these were limited quantities. You just can't beat free...the new tankcars sold out in one week. Just goes to show, Menards is a big, new player in the train market
Bob is right, our promotions have been very popular and we've been selling through a lot of these new Model Power freebies. Sorry for any confusion!
Our current promotion is a 3-Pack of Model Power Street Lamps (Link here). These are set to run until 12/27, but if we run out before then, we will substitute another item. I will do my best to keep everyone informed.
In any event, you may want to order quick to make sure you get some!

I think it's great Menard's stuff is selling o well......other than competitors we should all be happy.
Thanks Mark and everyone. I was just surprised to see that promo change so fast! With society becoming so "offended" these days, I thought someone may have said something about the "fat" people. None the less, those lamp posts will actually come in handy too!
