I feel they're even more valuable now, with train glass
available so openly through bulk sales. White at least,
probably others too, are a real reason to go for these.
In fact, in this year's Target Extermi-ganzza, the bus was
one of only two sets I absolutely HAD to have (the other
being the MTT) at 50% off, and of course I got none of
either. (On the other hand, I'm dwowning in dwoidekas.)
So I definitely think the bus is well worth half-price.

Who knows? Some of them might have just wanted the ball
anyways. Scary as it seems, some people *do* value sports
gear more highly than the far superior ABS brick...
(Don't think about it for too long. Please.)
