Robert, I have one of those sets. It's nice, but I have several that I like better, and I think it's completely LOONEY for anyone to pay so much for a cheap plastic set (unless it was used in a famous situation). It must be that someone just has too much money and desperately needs to be parted with it. Remember the words of P.T. Barum ..... Mark
