Howdy,


I long to be retired....


I like all the photos from the F&SM. I have been there 4 different times and it seems I never get to see it all.


So I gloated over the cache of Jordans I procured at Springfield. I reviewed the prices on the boxes (which is what I paid for them) and it turns out the cheapest one was $2.75 and the priciest one was $10.95. I'd say it all evened out in my favor since the going price for these is around $12-15 on eBay. I have heard some are able to buy them at $8/each in bulk. You wonder why these Jordans are such a topic of interest? Well, they are just way cool.


Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Howdy.

It's a new month. 2022 is flying by.

I unpacked all my Springfield loot and ended up with a total of 24 Jordan Highway Miniatures kits. I'm tickled.

Time to make the doughnuts.

Tom Boyd referenced the Jordan bus kit. I've built one of those buses already. Fun fun.

Nice! Any $16 FSM kits?
Sadly no. But, I found a $15 Mainline and Siding Coal Tipple with the Jordan truck STILL in the box 😁

I have mixed feelings about re-running a limited edition , one side of me says limited is limited , the other says good because kits are meant to be built and not saved to make a profit on them. How do you all feel about this?
Well, it's nice to have the kit available. But I will always wonder in the back of my mind, " is this new giant limited edition Fos kit going to be available again later ...."


Jaime

The advantage of that is that prospectors won't be buying all the kits before builders can get a hand on them.
Where there is a will, there is a way.


Prospectors likely bought kits not included in the limited run.


Prospector - "Mr. kit maker, I'll for sure buy 25 of those 125 Giant Limited Kits. I'll send my money today".
Mr. Kit Maker - "Sure.  No worries. I can always make 25 more."


I'm not saying it happens. I'm saying it could happen.

Well, that didn't take long.  Sold out, both domestic and international.  It will be back, but the demand, without a doubt, was there.  I wonder what other 'surprises' are in store?

Someone posted online Fos is only making batches of 26 or so at-a-time. Who knows 🤷‍♂️


Those that have always wanted one and didn't get it when first released better log to Fos website daily....


$70 increase over 10 years isn't too terribly bad.

Springfield was great. I found lots of bargains. I survived the bomb cyclone blizzard snow snowstorm. I was urged to do doughnuts on the Big E parking lot but I declined. Maybe next time around I'll spin on the snow.

Have a great day folks.

Later.

Sure wish I had room on my layout for this beauty--I've been wistfully looking at it on eBay for years.  But all  remaining real estate on the Twin Mountain line is spoken for.

Get it anyway and have fun building it. You can then donate to some poor sap that missed out on both issues of this kit 😂

I have made my reservations for the convention.  I was told I was the last one to get the special rate at the Hotel Murano.  Looking forward to it and getting together with the forum members.
Mmmmm... Perhaps I'll list my lodging reservation on eBay and pay for the new giant Fos kit 😂

Some say the Big E blizzard was a bust. Others were glad it was easier to find bargains not having to fight as many of the "unwashed". Me, I'm happy Raymond scoped the Jordan bargains. So far it's been a good show. It hasn't been the best show but hey, the world is falling apart so there's that to keep in mind.


See you there.


Jaime.
