Kevin,
These sets might not be as detailed as you wish (but hopefully they will
still be great sets). The website is a distributor and he sells everything
in multiples. If you look again you'll see that the $160 price is for two
Monster Labs. Doing the math the Studio Monster sets break down like this:

1380: Werewolf Ambush - $10.99
1381: Vampire Crypt - $21.99
1382: Mad Monster Lab - $79.99
1383: Curse of the Pharoah - $4.99

And I don't even trust those prices. They appear to mark up most of the
sets. They're selling 7139 Ewok Attack at $15.99 when it retails for $12.99.
Also the Star Wars Final Duel and Jedi Defense sets that retail for $6.99
are listed at $8.99. Same for the new Alpha Team sets and 'Freekick Frenzy'
set I bought today - I paid $9.99 for them at TRU, while this distributors
prices come out to $10.99.

HTH.

Ken

P.S. check out the new Studios Spider-man sets for April:
1374: Green Goblin - $8.99 (probably $7.99)
1375: Wrestling Scene - $23.99 (prob. $19.99)
1376: Spider-man Action Studio - $35.99 (prob. $34.99)

(...) Argh, I'm sure you're right-- and I even wondered whether "each" referred to one item, or a case. I think it's bizarre to refer to an "SRP" for a "case", but oh well. Anyway the idea of all of them being $60+ was just crazy, I definitely let (...) (25 years ago, 12-Dec-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2002)
