All you will still need is two 6x28 train bases.HNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10542165771477831399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131090077828384917.post-31569826429634296402016-08-25T10:00:23.074-04:002016-08-25T10:00:23.074-04:00You could rather easily fit in another table with ...You could rather easily fit in another table with chairs without doing much changing of the car (there are a couple of flat tiles on the floor that you'd have to remove). <br /><br />I definitely think that a lot (but not all) of the high-end LEGO stuff still "feels" worth the money (the modulars, etc.) but a lot of the lower end stuff does feel like you aren't getting the same value that you used to.

I've been feeling that way about many of the LEGO sets I've purchased lately, though. I wonder if my mental image of what I should be getting per dollar just hasn't kept up with inflation?
