This last week or so, I have have been buying additional track and parts for the Pond Haven Railroad. As some of you may or may not know, LGB no longer exists. They went bankrupt and then were bought by Maklin. Last week it was announced that LGB of America could not reach an agreement at this time to distribute LGB/Maklin products in the USA.
This coupled with the poor dollar oversees has caused track prices to skyrocket. Rather than pay these outrageous prices I have turned to ebay.
In true Simpson’s fashion, I tell you this story to tell you this:
I was searching on ebay and decided to type in Atari 2600. I don’t know what made me do it, but I found this page…
They want $199 for a console, two controllers and 1 game. Highway robbery!!!!
You can buy a joystick with the console built in for $14. I got one for Angie a few years ago. Check the out the Atari Plug&Play Joystick
