There are a few weird things going on in this group:
- The curved track comes in twos. So if you put one curve in your model, you will have to buy two. That’s why there are only 5 curves pictured in the model.
- The train wheels are coming up “Not Available”, so I don’t have a price for them. Any model containing the wheels also shows up as “Not Available” - see this ‘Passenger Car’.
- The switch point lots say they contain 40 pieces. I don’t know why - they’re 10 pieces in LDD.
As always, parts are in lots of 10 and prices are in USD.

The prices are just plain odd and high. A pair of switches is 27.99, but one
is 22.96? AND you need to buy in lots of ten? Straight track is 12.99 for a
box of eight, but 19.99 for a lot of ten? I could buy one motor for 24.99
under your old system, but now need to buy 10 of them for 349.90? Geez TLC,
do you think that you might be pricing yourself out of the market/causing
your new product to fail?
Compare this to an ordinary train set from a hobby seller:

As Eric noted, you don’t have
to buy LEGO Factory parts in lots of 10. The intent of LEGO Factory is for
people to design models in LDD, and buy the whole model. I put together these
“models” to figure out how much each part costs, and so that people who can’t or
won’t use LDD could still buy the parts.
