That's a steal. MIB examples of this set go for 250+ USD or so it seems.
Go buy it, you'll either fall in love with it yourself and get the
(expensive) monorail bug, or you'll get your money back with no trouble either
by making someone VERY happy at a small markup or by making a pile by
auctioning it off, whichever you prefer.
I guarantee I will pay 170 USD plus shipping if no one else wants it, but
someone will, which is fine by me as I have several already. (NOT trying to
start an auction, just assuring Laurent there's a market for it, if you want
it mail Laurent directly...)
Larry's rule of thumb: Always buy rare stuff. Someone will almost always want
it, and you'll almost never lose out. Maybe once in a while but it's rare.
