Welll... this is what everyone thought about the elevated highway pieces in
6600 until we a) got them in our hands, and b) found there was only one
straight piece per expensive set, and no way to get more cheaply.
I got a look at a retailers catalog and the actual set (4586) with these
grey road sections in is a mid-sized set so maybe the cost won't be
prohibitive. It has 3 straight sections and two ramps. The other set (4588)
is about twice as big and has 2 Y-sections, 11 straights, 10 curves (each
1/12 of a circle) and 3 ramps... but they are GREEN, not grey. The Altered
States pics seem to show lt grey rather than green, so maybe the color has
been changed since the catalog pics. Wouldn't be the first time.
