While out shopping yesterday, I spied a large number of 3411 soccer busses on a
clearance pile. They were marked about half off. I was skeptical, so I offered
less. They passed on the offer. Other than the train windows (and the Timmy), do
these have any notable parts ?

What you get (wich I think makes them reasonably worth the $20 list
price, and makes them a bargain at half price):

7 train window frames
7 trans light blye 4x3 window glass
2 trans light blue 2x6x2 windscreens
2 trans light blue 1x1 bricks
6 minifigs with plain torsos

several other bits and pieces

Including 4 1x8 tiles in light grey, some long beams (depending on your bus
color) and a 2x12 plate in light gray, among other goodies

I think this set is a good value (relative to other sets of this era) at
list and even better when discounted, which is why I have bought well over
100 of them (without the bonus soccer ball) already across the 4 available
colors and just got 20 more from S@H when they were on special. The bonus
balls will be part of the goodiebags for Niks next Bday party although I'm
not sure they are worth 2 dollars in and of themselves.
