No more track packs?

I would like to say that that's surprising,but it's not. Mattel's focus now isn't to make sets that are useful for building layouts, instead it's to make the most attention grabbing set possible.

I love building layouts, even more than actually using them, but it seems that every year regular tracks become harder and harder to find in sets.

I think at this point the best option if you're interested in getting some normal track is buying lots of it on eBay. As I don't think Mattel are thinking of adding track packs back into their range any time soon.
