I think a price point of $79 is unrealistic even without a motor.  My 6399
(which I bought used for $200) has a TRU price tag on the box of $189 (USD).

(which would still be a deal IMHO).

Would the non-LUGNET buying public buy this set without a motor?  As much as
I would like to say yes, I doubt it would happen.
