Set-specific track is hard to store
#1

I just go the LeMans C1404T set and am enjoying it so far. I'm sure it'll be even better when I add some more track to it. Can't really get the cars going to fast as is.

Speaking of track I realize that the set comes with extra long straights (C8505) and 90 degree R2 (C8529). Near as I can tell you can't buy these outside of a set. I was about to toss the box the set came in and store it in a plastic bin only to find the straights don't fit ;-(. I have to search for a new, larger bin I guess. I wonder why they did this. Is it to save on costs? Make it easier for beginners to assemble layouts? I suppose they are handy and good for bridges, but otherwise harder to store.

Less joins means less power loss, which is good for customers.
The length is exactly that of a full straight and elevated crossover piece, making those bridges not only easy due to less pieces, but also because of the correct geometry for it.
I agree that it's a hassle to store, though. I ended up giving the ones I had away as a gift along with the rest of the needed parts to have a complete slot car race set.
