Ya know, my dad used to do model railways. You have no idea about expensive. Go to a train hobby shop and try to buy 1 decent engine.
Relatively speaking, d&d is probably one of the cheapest hobbies out there. All things considered 4e cost me a couple of hundred dollars over a 3year period...CHUMP CHANGE!
Conclusion...not worried at all
As a model railway enthusiast myself, I whole-heartedly agree. Even the smallest sets(Z or N scale) will run you upwards of 150 a set. And that provides you with comparably about as much content as half of a PHB, one train, one loop, a few minis(sometimes). You get into the bigger scales and you can double, triple, and quadruple that price.
While I've invested probably a good couple hundred in D&D products, I'm not terribly worried about the costs of a new edition.
Hey at least it's not a USA Trains 4-8-8-4 Big Boy(go ahead, google it), take a look at that and tell my D&D is expensive.
