If a Plarail store was just down the road from where I live, I'd buy a new component and/or train each month! I sure wish that TOMY would take care of that.
I AM NOT DEAD. Just inactive.
Let us know how you make out Ripley as I want to make it to your Grand Opening. I don't think those small blue carry baskets is going to be big enough for me so make sure you have some large push carts or better yet, a small Fork Lift for my purchases.
I went to that store on my trip last November. Pretty amazing, but I had to be careful or else I wouldn't be able to carry things home! I was like that most of the trip actually.
