Did i get America's last BNSF?

[lego trains rule]

Well a couple weeks ago the lego website said "call to check availibillity" for the BNSF gp-38 so i called lego and they had 1 left! instantly i purchased it and it was here in days but since then there hasen't been a "call to check availibillity" for it so I've been wondering if I got the last one. I'd also like to know why across the pond you guys can still get it,the super cheif locomotive and the baggage/mail car :-/

Maybe we can still get it here "across the pond" because it is an American train model which is not commonly known in Europe and therefor perhaps less popular among European train collectors. But... Correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't think you got America's last BNSF but most likely S@H US' last set.

There's different market strategies. Either S@H US had less sets or it sold better. No one really knows. They were also sold at Toys'R'Us IIRC and at LEGO brand stores. Maybe you have one of those near you or you know someone who could help you out find another one (if that's what you want?).

You're right, though, it's a very nice model *y*

Just to clarify things, here in the U.S. they did not sell the BNSF or SF in any TRU store(at least within the Chicago area they did not), although it was available at S@H and LEGO retail stores. Got mine through S@H, but ordered it at a LEGO store.
