I only meant that you can put minifigs on it without looking ridiculous, as opposed to how they would look on most of the technic vehicles!

I actually just ordered it for $200 at costco. Been eyeing it for a while, and couldn't resist that price! This will be my first technic set, excited to build it! I like that it's (more-or-less) minifig scale.

After gaining some inspiration here, I went through a process trying to improve my 60052 engine. It has 2 motors (including direction switch), headlights, IR Reciever, and battery box all housed within the engine (so it's pretty cramped for space in there!). I wasn't aiming to make it look like any exiting engine, just hopefully more interesting than the original! Let me know what you think!

No, just buy them when you can. If you find them on sale, great, but you also run the risk of them being discontinued if you wait.
