   It would cost you more than $40 nowadays going out to dinner and   
   catching a movie... I look at it as that $40 price for "parts" will keep   
   my brain engaged and a reason to get out of bed for several days if   
   nothing else. Well worth the price in my view even if it ends up being   
   just parts of no particular use😉
