I saw that $29.99 pricepoint as well, and was a little bit surprised at that. I think, if I am remembering correctly, this was a $40 vehicle when I picked it up at Target in the POTJ days (although I think it hit some low clearance prices in some areas later on). I actually kind of like this new version, and would like the pilot, but I'm going to have to pass. If it was a "normal" year, and there wasn't so much coming out right now, I might consider it - but the budget can't handle it, and space is an issue the way it is.
