That's $350 USD or $462 CAD. The set is very tame by today's standards and would cost about half of that.
The closest similar modern day set for around the same price is the roller coaster at $479.99, but that set is a lot more involved, bigger, and has more pieces:
You're getting significantly more value today. Sets as detailed and large as the very expensive modern day sets just weren't around before.
