The lionel polar express train set was designed on behalf of the 2004 Polar Express movie. This train set was a popular hit with children. There were huge shortages of the toy. This being near Christmas time set up retailer and Ebayers with a great way to flip a huge profit. The orginal retail value was a little over $200, but some of the sets sold for over $500. It was March of the following year before the company could restock the shelves with the hit toy. The lucky kids that got it on Christmas morning should have felt very greatful.
