"good" buying of trackmaster 2.0

called into a local department store today, hoping to find a certain lego minifig. found him by pure fluke... first pack i picked up was him. lol.
i decided to check the thomas after seeing a lady standing and taking photos on her phone. she was looking at buying for her grandson, so i gave her some advice on what track is compatible and such. i dont think she fully understood what i meant, but is likely to go with wooden as that is what her grandson is familiar with from daycare.

anyway, they were having a 2 day sale with 40% off fisher-price. i put on layaway the large avalanche escape set, troublesome traps, sort and switch and the 2 truck packs. total came to $200. not bad given the big set retails for $150 alone. no photos yet, gotta pay it off first. hehe.

after talking with that woman, i do think fisher-price needs to make the differences between ranges more obvious. i completely lost her when i said the 2 trackmaster ranges are incompatible for the most part. poor thing! the packs are too similar, especially the new tale of the brave themed items.
