def Posted December 6, 2014 Author Posted December 6, 2014 I can see why the three different birds are sold together, but I wonder if it wouldn't be better if they were sold separately. I can imagine, for example, that Toronto baseball fans and supporters of the varsity teams at Johns Hopkins would be interested in the blue jay but not the other two and wouldn't buy the set because of them. As much as some people might want to pick up just one, it wouldn't be practical with the layout for Ideas sets. Ideas sets come as deluxe packages, with the books and boxes. I think the cost to produce three would add enough to make it a less attractive price overall. Plus, I think sales of the set of three would guarantee the best overall sales, even though one of the three might sell better on its own. So, money. Quote
Gnac Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 My wallet's knackered just from my Creator obsession in 2014, so I hope there'll be one of these waiting for me in the new year; because this is a proper idea thing, and it needs my love. Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Speedy, if I may ask, how did you come by this set so quickly? Quote
def Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 Speedy, if I may ask, how did you come by this set so quickly? Just look at my name But, seriously, it's an advance copy, in the way that a music site might have a copy of an album ahead of time Quote
TheLegGodt Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Has anyone been able to buy this set yet? I was expecting it to go for sale today at S@H and the banner says 'Buy Now' but he actual page says 'coming soon'. Can't recall a situation like this before with the release of a set. I am going to a Lego Store tomorrow, hope to pickup a box then... Quote
