It is not what I would term a "yucky" set at all, it is for the most part, a
old style Town set.  No BURPs, no SPUDs, a nice design.  It actually has a
fairly detailed engine compartment that is complete covered up by the rear
cover.

Hmmm..I guess it's OK.  Expensive it certainly is, though.

One thing you may run into on your return flight is they may not have any.
It has been my experience that some of the non-alcohol and non-tobacco items
on the duty free cart only get stocked on one end of the flight.  Assuming
(big assumption here I admit) that you flew from the US to somewhere else on
USAir, you will return from somewhere else back to the US sometime soon.
USAir may only stock their cart in the US and if someone purchased the one
or two (it has been my experience that SAS, BA, and AA never stocked more
than two of the LEGO sets they offered) that were available, there may not
have any more when you return.  This happened to me on several British Air
flights between London and Stockholm.

I asked for 3 but they only had 1 left.  The stewardess said something like
"Yes, we had a thing with the Lego sets on the way over," so I think you're
right.  But hey, at least I got one!

Did you open it yet?  I just got one a few days ago.  (Had a few too many
French francs on the flight home.)  I was wondering how many of the tiger
stickers were supposed to be included.  The one I picked up only came with
2 stickers and I was expecting 4 based on the picture on the box.  The
instructions didn't make it clear either.

Have fun,

Don
