I’m glad we bought our stuff back when. I doubt we’ll be buying much Fisher Price stuff going forward.
@ Fred Pelhay- Those expansion packs look a bit like the old sets. The ridiculous secondary market price on the straight tracks makes me think that too.
If they make it easier for kids to assemble sets on their own, that’s okay. However, it certainly decreases the amount of flexibility and creativity kids can use in building their own layouts. I’m sure market testing has probably shown them that kids don’t build their own layouts (and we certainly don’t want to encourage creativity) so they don’t see that as a negative.
