1) You pay a premium for the Designer sets
2) The ordering process is a mess (see round 1)
3) No printed instruction book
All adds up to no sale for me.
I'd love the Ruined House, but I'm struggling to believe that 2,999 others will rush to pledge $299.99 to push it over the line....
If I hadn't spent so much on retired modulars this year, I might still be interested, but I will _probably_ pass. It does look so good though, so maybe it will just depend on what I'm doing when the sale button goes live.
I still want that chalet, although now I'm wondering how expensive it's going to be... It looks like it's 40 studs wide, so it will probably be closer to $300.
However, I'm still eyeing that Aquarium... I think I can justify $65 for that.
More money saved for the Chalet I guess?
It was the only one on my radar so could be a cheap round after all.
It is also a bit of game play for the designers. The higher the part count, the higher the price, and the higher their cut. And with the cap on the numbers produced, the low price point of smaller sets doesn't necessarily mean a higher volume of sales.
Edit: apparently it's even worse, it's one per household.
Sorry Mrs Bricktuary and the little Bricktuaries, you miss out.
Pre-orders are limited to one copy per household.
And have the prices disappeared from the site or can I just not find them?

Ugg... looking at it closely again, I am reminded how much I enjoy that set! $250... uggg!!!
The Modular Lego Store is the only set there I really want, because it fits in with the rest of my modular city. Will see how well the rest sell before deciding.
