I got Spider Slayer for $19.98 (Canada, about $14 US) but it was
opened. Oh well, seems like all of the parts were there. The fact that the
motor hadn't been stolen seems like a big hint that nothing was. It's a
pretty good cheap parts/motor set, but the model I tried to build has problems
with it. So, a $70 US set for $14 US is a discount of about %80... okay, you
win.
