Hmm... the only time I have seen an AM order cost more for (non-express domestic US) shipping than the cost of the item was when I queried shipping prices for the pool noodles a recentTuesday when they were one of the "deals of the day".

While we could get the cans locally (I bought one to make into a practice Oscar the Grouch can before mutilating a game piece), I never found those lids locally or even on-line except as FRC game pieces.

Given the age of steam theme, it's more likely to be a brass-plated version of am-2630, the 240 tooth turret gear.
I am encouraged by the fact that the extra game piece option is "only" 20% of the FC points - in 2015 it would have been much higher. Since 2012, the only game piece we have found locally was the Frisbee, and that wasn't as easy as it should have been; most stores just had the knock-offs.
