Ok, let me try to sort this out for you:
1) I assumed you were talking about the R.I.D. version of Rail Racer. From your comments, and seeing what's available on Evil Bay, I still assume that to be correct.
2) There IS an older G1 Japanese "Rail Racer" (actually named "Raiden"), which you can expect to pay significantly more for.
3) There is also a KOREAN Takara (Sonokong) giftset version that you can buy in multiple places for $50 USD + Shipping (watch out on that shipping from Hong Kong!). I don't know if there are quality differences, versus the US release.
4) Oh yeah, and there's a tiny version, I think part of the Universe line, with 6 trains in the set that's like $25.
Anyhow, #1 doesn't come up for auction terribly often, but when it does, expect to pay about what I mentioned in the first post regarding Rail Racer. (And be sure you're looking for RailRacer AND Rail Racer, as some use a space, and some don't).
Hope that helps!

Also know as Raiden. Part of the TF headmasters line expect to pay $800+ for a complete one of them though. [a six piece train combiner]Wheezel wrote:

From what I know the quality is identical to the normal releases.Wheezel wrote:

if you are talking about rail racer RID. then there are two releases i know of. A three pack japanese release [all three trains in one box] and the hasbro ones which were individually packaged. There is no difference beyond the boxes with these versions.

Thanks so much guys, it sure is handy to be able to pick your brains for knowledge! 
Seems to me there's two boed versions from Takara, probably an original one as well as a korean Takara version. I believe they're identical though.
I've read that the Takara versions had paint issues though, here's hoping I get a decent one!
