Does anyone else think there is a major price gap on the new 6600 Highway
Construction set? $88.00 & all you get is 3 trucks a crain & some road. Now
look at the 6575 Polar Base its $66.00 & you get 2 buildings 1 truck 1 • chopper
1 snowmobile & it seems to be more detailed than 6600.

I figure they should have knocked off $10 - $20 or have it on sell.

I did a quickie analysis on 6600 about a month ago.  I don't remember which
gorup I posted to, but try searching LUGNET for it.

The $80 price is not hard to justify -- the highway plates and supports are
going to be pricey.

BUT, I think everybody is going to have the same reaction as you.  I know I • did.
$80 just seems like too much for this set.  So I'm expecting this set to
experience heavy clearancing later this year.
