Your tip for buying the train set is a useful one-- in fact it has already been
suggested. There are lots of subtle considerations to be made when LEGO
shopping. Some of us have developed it to an art, and we like to share our
findings with others. Regarding 4561, Mike W. has mentioned it has gone on
clearance at Target three years running. Many of us have purchased it for
$32.44 in the past (or for $37.50 last summer at Toy Liquidators). This is why
we hem and haw at $90 or even $65. And had John F. been following .shopping
and known the history, he could have avoided paying top dollar for a separate
regulator. Many of us are sitting on stacks of extra regulators. (Also our
layouts are curvier than we'd like.)

Being merely an opinion, it cannot be wrong. By the same token the opinions of
others, should they disagree with you, are also not wrong.
Matt and Richard have already given you good reasons why they find these
sometimes excruciatingly detailed posts useful. In addition, I like to read
the most mundane of them, especially from East Coasters, because often by the
time I wake up and get online, they are already back from the stores with their
shopping reports. What they write can save me a twenty mile round trip to
town.
I'll reiterate what's been said-- if you don't like it, don't read it.
I do not dance, I do not hop,
When I don't write drivel, I shop til I drop!
