I am sure that there are enough of the non-lugnet public that have purchased
any of the monorail sets when they were first out, or that have purchased
the monorail motors on e-bay.
So in that respect I think there are more of the general public who are
interested in this set....
however, I think my $80 thought for the set was too low, as you pointed out,
and even 125 US for the set is a bargain!!!
