While the subjects surely is interesting and relevant, I must say that I find the price somewhat over the attractive.

Sadly 3 things put me off this system. 1 - the price, while obviously people want to make money, I always say, make em cheaper and sell more thereby encreasing your overall profit. 2 - the train rail is always above ground, this doesn't often happen in a dock yard where the rail head are just below the concrete surface. And finally 3 - I feel these could all broken up into smaller kits and sold on ebay, the problem is actually finding out where these items are sold, on ebay there are millions of people using that site every day. In all, this is a very good looking set, but like I said, for myself, to much money.
I would also like to see buildings in 1-350, there very few are far between, and like the awaiting of the 3-D figures there is a HUGE market out there, just requires someone brave enough to tap into it.
