I understand the economics, the logistics and the development issues quite well, so that is not my point at all. But recently something has happened to me that I think I should share: I am wanting to purchase a CS. My supplier in the past year has been Lippe, and I have ordered Ctracks, and more from them up to a couple thousand euros. However, the CS3 is backordered on their web site and after seeing that all of the other main web suppliers have it inmediately in stock, I asked a week ago for an estimate of availability. I had been waiting for 3 weeks for it to become available and had it reserved. Total of 5 weeks on backorder. To my surprise they answered back promptly as is usual in them ( which is why they get my custom) saying that they believe they will have it mid February. A FEW WEEKS away even further!!! For such a big dealer, I find this quite extraordinary. Could it rwally be that they expect a novelty of some sort from Marklin? I have had this same experience with Apple products many times. Just asking myself the question. Regards from Southern Spain Santiago

Cheap dealers run out of stock early while not so cheap dealers may still have it in stock. I don't know where CS3s are assembled, but I think they are made in larger batches. According to the traffic lights of the Märklin product database, both 60216 and 60226 will be available again.
