IMO the MOST COSTLY parts in the set are the following:
1) Train Regulator ($42)
2) Curved Track ($13)
3) Train Motor ($25)
So at most pay up to $80. $70 is a better deal (train regulator + motor only).
Why? What is my logic? Simple, you can always sell the regulator at about
~32-40 dollars on ebay with ease. Since it's a new item you won't have no
problem. The motor is the same logic so you can recoup some of your
purchase from there. ~$52 [32 for regulator + 20 for motor] so your only
out $30 at the 80 dollar price. Plus you keep the track and all the pieces.
Thanks my take on it at least. Try the K-Marts as they seem to have worse
'security' in their stores and I've managed to pick up 2 4561 for $50
becuase a) the box was opened and b) 1 or 2 bags were missing (in one the
engine bag) and in the 2nd (the platform game). No big loss for me because
the more valuable stuff (motor, regulator, track, and train connectors) were
in there. I'm not saying I opened and destoryed the boxed but looking at
their clearence section they had the 4561 in their with that oh so wonderful
red clearence sticker saying "box opened, missing pieces, clearence SOLD AS
IS". =)
