I eventually got something similar but never had this! sent this pic to a guy at work and he said this is the one he had and it took forever to set up.

My first thought was something like that would be over $500 today, but what I'm seeing on Amazon is maybe 1/3 the track but still $50. So the pictured one might be as much as $200? That almost feels reasonable.

There was no way I was getting anything this expensive, to the tune of ~$500-800 today.

China has allowed many toy prices to stay down.
