Where is the hard copy of Lionel's new Christmas catalog?

My LHS had them when I was there last week.  I can imagine your frustration of having paid for a membership and not seeing it yet.

Got mine the other day.

RadioRon,

  Rec. my over a week ago from the LRRC. Perhaps your copy was lost in the mail? I would have thought all members would have had there's by now. Hopefully it will show up for you soon.

Contact Lionel and have them send you one.

I would be little miffed too but would most likely contact Lionel first.  They have 'em you should get one.

I received mine over a week ago too. 

I received a copy in the mail just this week -- mailed from a Lionel North Carolina address.  Not sure which mailing list they were using though.  I'm a member of TCA and LCCA, but not LRRC.

I received my copy from LCCA this week.

Out on The Coast:  I received mine from the LRRC early last week.

I remember we had the same complaints from MTH club members earlier this year. Folks that went to April York picked up catalogs weeks before they went out in the mail.

Frankly, I usually end up with several copies as I get them from dealers I've bought from over the past year or two. I think I got a Christmas catalog from Charles Ro about a month ago.

I received mine last Tuesday, from the LCCA. It is very cool, They even have a couple of Legacy engines with the North Pole colors.

I Think the Thomas set with the color coded remote control is neat. Boy, I wish my son was still around ten years old! Gee I wounder who I know that fits that discription?

By the text it sounds as if other remote control products are coming with their own color code control boxs. It says they will all be able to operate at the same time.

I received one in the mail yesterday (west coast). I didn't keep the mailing envelope, but I think it was my LRRC number and not my LCCA number.

I belong to the Lionel railroader club got mine this past week.  Wife belongs to the Lionel collectors club she also got hers this past week.  Both have a return address of Lionel 6301 Performance Drive, Concord NC 28027.

Mine arrived here in Ohio on Friday.

I got mine on July 16th.  My grandson has picked out about half the book to ask Santa for!

Mine arrived this past Monday from LRRC all the way up here in Montreal.  My wife has already created her page long list of stuff she wants under the tree this December!

Really no point in being a member of the club. If you make your train purchases from one of the larger dealers you'll get the catalogs for free.

I got mine in the mail 2 days ago.  No a member of any club, but do order enough through Charles Ro.  

Got mine 3 days ago from the Lionel RR club.

If you want to buy the club exclusive items, like the annual Christmas car, it's easier to belong to the club. Otherwise, you have to look on the secondary market, probably for a premium.

Since many have received their Christmas catalogs in the past week, maybe I am the victim of the USPS issue.  Perhaps on Monday!  I am also an LCCA member, but have received nothing from them.  Maybe Lionel and LCCA cross-reference their mailing lists & those who in the LRRC are left off LCCA's list.  SO, if receiving catalogs is also a benefit of being an LCCA member, perhaps the LRRC "membership" is worth even less.  I very rarely buy their (in my opinion) over-priced club offerings.  I note on the LRRC web page page that many of the super-expensive items LRRC offered in the last year are still available!   That should be a sign to Lionel, I would think.  

Somebody at the post office might have found the catalog appealing.

I think I'm up to four or five copies by now---I must be on a lot of lists

I give them away to friends with kids

I know that you are a bit upset at the moment, but there are several other benefits of being an LRRC member. Especially if you do not live anywhere near to an LHS that can supply Lionel items.  Besides the catalogues being mailed to you, and the magazine, you do have the opportunity to purchase the club items if you so desire. You also receive a 10% discount on all Lionelstore purchases. This alone can recoup your membership costs in one purchase. I know that I have saved a great deal through this scheme. Besides these, and the knowledge that by belonging, you are helping to support the club for others, you mustn't forget that you receive what must be the world's largest membership badge every year.
