Agreed, for the collectors of relative "rarities." (I wonder how many
were sold?)
On the other hand, lots of people probably just wanted the snazzy baseplate,
those red panel walls, the zombie minifigures (my favorite), the trans-red
windscreen, and other fun parts.
Keep in mind also that my info comes from the front-line S@H
phone representative, leaving open the possibility that it will be
contradicted later on somewhere up the TLC management chain.
