LOL - Yeah, it's insane. But the tub was an awesome deal at $20, and I can see
people willing to pay to get those parts. You'd pay closer to $100 to buy each
individual set that included those pieces.
I was lucky enough to get 2 when they were released, haven't seen 'em since.

| I tried to talk some kid into spending his $20 on this tub. He was intrigued, and his dad said it looked like a great deal, but in the end he wanted a Makuta that day. (20 years ago, 31-Aug-04, to lugnet.market.auction)
