nearly 30% off RRP. Even if trains aint your thing, it's a cheap way to get the PoweredUp batterybox/hub that is needed for other LEGO sets like the crocodile train and fairground haunted house.

CamelCamelCamel.
Bought this twice, once for the train, and the second time for the electronics (cheaper to buy them this way, as the OP has said).
Paid $119 both times though…not sure what discounts were going around at the time. Amazon both times, so maybe it will pay to wait if you're a real tight-arse, otherwise I think it's still a reasonable price anyway.
This is definitely a worthwhile set and probably the best Lego train set for for first-timers, but I just wished they included a 4th car that was an identical control car to the first, so the train would look good going in forward or reverse.
buy 2.
I would but I'm exclusively a Star Wars/Technic collector.
This is one of the rare Lego City exceptions to my rule and I would have no use for the extra track pieces.
Always remember, broadening your Lego horizons is a dangerous and expensive precedent. Best to stick to one or two themes tops.
I kind of forced myself to stick to themes in the top appreciation zones .
Normally unless some crazy specials repeat themes don't get close to competing .
My bad .
Star Wars is still ok being around 7% pa in its history .
Showing $149 for me.
Same here, maybe it's with cashback?
price went up to $149. $141 no longer available.
Cheers for the brickhawk link - really keen on a NES set but I keep missing it.
