I see this thing collecting dust in my local train shop and decided to see what was on ebay, found this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-LIONEL-...046381?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item5affe1d32d
Yeah it may be a "novelty" but it's kind of cool in a "I never really need to own this" kinda of a way That being said, if it were cheap enough I wouldn't mind having one in my collection, just for the heck of it.
In it's own way I do think it's a cool idea, especially for kids growing up in the Nintendo era. I'm wondering if that's what Lionel's plan was? To appeal more to kids and the younger generation? Today with GoPro cameras, smart phones--it's old news but I still think it's kinda cool.
Safe to say this was a flop--off the top of your head, what else was released that has achieved novelty status?
