Ok... who's going to get an eclipse car?

[Point353]

They did a similar Eclipse car back in 2017, and as I recall it sold out very quickly.  My memory is the 2017 car was released as part of the September releases without advanced notice (no pre-orders), and as a result demand greatly exceeded supply.

I recall that the allocation at MBK went live on their website one day at midnight and it was sold out before 2AM.

Darn. I didn't know that. We were there for that one, too. (Hint: We live in southern Illinois, ground zero for where the eclipse paths crossed.)

I'm not going to fight the collectors for it, however.

The 2017 car was going for over $100 on eBay, at one time.  One sold recently for $70.

I've never bought a fun car from MT before....

but I may break down for this one.   For the grandkids.

EDIT
This is what happens when you are typing on your tiny phone...
You accidentally quote yourself..... and then add nothing.
And then don't realize it until all your friends have viewed it for a few hours.

Getting an eclipse car...I just can't see it

Wait, the Sun's corona doesn't  glow? That's a bummer.  I wonder if MTL will ever make more of those cars with built-in illumination?
I'm of course just having some fun here.

We are doing the Infamous Railwire members car series starting next April.  I figure Peteski should be the first.

     Um,  next April? Awesome!  I love it!

I hope you throw it into the production schedule preempting all of the other special runs.  I want to be disruptive!

Warning more thread drift, could you do a special run for a "In Memoriam" series of TRW members who have passed away? It would be a way of actively remembering them and their contributions.
