| | | | | (...) If you're talking about the 9V series only, then the Metroliner set is by far the most sought after set and commands the highest price. The 4551 Crocodile engine comes as a close second. -Harvey (23 years ago, 15-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | (...) I think Crocodile engine is more rarer and tends to always sell high on E-bay...if you add the club Car to the Metroliner and you are always going to have to pay big bucks.... what about the Airport Shuttle...it is a "town" set that always (...)

| | | | | | (...) Not really - 4558s without boxes have been going for $200 or less lately. I've seen ones WITH boxes for right at $200. I won my last Metroliner on Ebay for $160 INCLUDING shipping from Germany to the US. He packed it in a nice plastic tub (...) (23 years ago, 15-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains)

Nice overall designed set....especially with two passenger cars... (...) (23 years ago, 15-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | (...) Agreed. And I would argue that while 600 USD is a lot for Airport shuttle, it's only 3X. Maybe the rarest is not the "most expensive" but the one that has "went up the most, relative to original price..." By that metric it's probably some (...) (23 years ago, 15-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | (...) Hi, Well, it depends on what serie you look at. I saw recently a 7750 for around $2500! And IMO the rarest is the 118 (sold not too long ago for $550) This set was produced in very small quantity. The 7710 is hard to find and the 7725 is HTF (...)

| | | | (...) The most expensive train set ever has been the 7750 MISB: it went for over 4000 DM (1800 .. 1900 $) 4 weeks ago. In my opinion these are rare sets of each series: blue: 113, 115, 118, 119, 164, 166, 167, 183, 722 grey: 7720, 7727, 7730, 7740, (...) (23 years ago, 16-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains)
