Chris, during that starter set discussion we had here recently, you asked a very pertinent question that went something like: "What do you guys want?" I think you saw the general idea of what we want (albeit in the wrong gauge/scale.) You bought it for Caleb. Wouldn't it have been great if that K-Line play value was available in S? That's what S needs, and what many of us want. >This weekend, I did my job. I started the process of passing the >torch.
