With 66 days to go till Christmas, I've noticed most major online retailers such as Target ans Toys R Us, etc. are listing the PE passenger set but not the freight set. Do you think this set will ever come near in this, its debut yea,r of matching the demand the PE passenger set had in its ignaugural year? A few LHS dealers I know are privately leary of its prospects for such success expecting it to fall woefully short of the family favorite the passenger set has become. They fear it might only appeal to train enthusiasts rather than having widespead public appeal? For those forum members whose train running is limited each year to an around the tree set-up, are you going to spring for it to encircle your tree this season? What about the rest of you? Have you bought it yet? Is it on you must have list for 2012? It may be early to be thinking about Christmas displays, but are you betting it'll be a sweet holiday treat or a Christmas milk "dud"?
