I got the April MR today. There’s a piece in there about virtual model railroading (sort of like Wii with model trains). They sucked me right in, until they got to the part about soldering feeder wires while fighting ninjas. The game is due to hit the shelves April 1.
Not the first time those MR guys have had me going.
Anybody else buy it?
It happens every year, and I really hate it, someone has to blab and spoil the joke for everyone else before their issue even arrives.[:(]

I caught it right away. but the one about abandoned right of way modelers had me going until the April fool gag was pointed out in the RPO section. The one that caught me by surprise because I wasn’t expecting it was when they did the 1/1 scale box car in the workbench reviews. Normally they stick it in news so I was looking for it but wasn’t expecting that one.

Well I’ve just flicked through the issuse as it arrived. Noticed the Wii controllers and thought nothing more of it! Didn’t read the article.
