Here goes my $0.015...
The product appears to have all of the earmarks of european sets. It is
probably here to move it without melting it down and making second rate G.I
Joe figures out of it. We (alot of we) will buy it for the cheap technic
motors and sell them to recoup some of the cost. I think they may sell it
all here. Not just to us, but to parents that see such low prices on boxes
marked "Lego" and just "gotta have it". Is the US "popularity" of Znap
going to save it? Only if they are thinking about cutting their price in
half. If they were going to try to make it work here, the original prices
would have shown up on them, not 50% off. Could you imagine what would
happen if they came out with a 2000 line at full price? Nothing.
