Hi Rob,
For a West-Ender like me: Civilization ends at Yonge Street! I rarely cross that chasm that separates the city unless I'm forced to... :o
Yes, but they may be too baby-ish for kids over 8-or-9-years-old...
The manufacturers may think that they are protecting the hobby shops by giving them exclusive access to the products, but my first train set came from Woolco!
I'm sure that there are a few kids who got their start with the Lablaw's President's Choice Train Sets...
Put the products where people can find them, instead of hiding them and making people have to go out of their way to find them!
