You can probably build one of those things (or a close equivalent) with a
few tubs at a third the cost. I would have considered buying something like
the prototype, with lots of slopes, but I can't see any reason to buy the
production model. I feel sorry for the people who absolutely must collect
everything LEGO produces. 8.3 cents a piece is pretty expensive for basic
bricks.
