Sure, $30 for a set with 373 pieces is a pretty good price. But that's about
a 50% discount from the original pricing for the RRV. Using the .10/piece
pricing target, this set should have retailed for about $35-$40. Instead, it
was $73 in the S@H catalog, which would have been about $65 on the toystore
shelf. Definitely not a good value.

| (...) True! Very true! However I never get sets until they go on clearence (except Star wars). Legos usually get marked down to 50% before the new sets come out. July and August are the best months to buy lego for that very reason. David (URL) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.western)
